9:1 MINI-BALUN Features:

- Uses proprietary Multi-Turn, Multi-Ferrite technology for maximum power transfer and minimum SWR

- 500 Watts PEP, 50 ohm SO-239 connectors In, Dual Stud Output, 1-61 MHz (usable to 100 MHz) - AKA 9:1 BALUN

- Works for coax fed antennas from 1.8-61 MHz (160-6 meters)

- 2-5 times more wider bandwidth and higher power then competing baluns of similar power ratings


This balun has a SO-239 input and 1/4" top studs output.

For Higher Power needs use our CB-9-1500TS or CB-9-5000TS







Palomar Engineers offers a variety of impedance transformers configured as Baluns (balanced coax to unbalanced load) or Ununs (unbalanced coax to unbalanced load) for  matching typical 50 ohm feed line impedances to antenna or other load impedances.

We specify impedance ratios as an output to input ratio where the output (or load) is given first and the input is given second (e.g. 100:50 (2:1) would mean a 100 ohm output and a 50 ohm input; a 25:50 (1:2) would mean a 25 ohm load and a 50 ohm input).  Most all products use a 50 ohm input unless otherwise specified.

We have products that are available as kits for the do-it-yourself (DIY) person or fully assembled and tested units for the “Plug & Play” crowd.

Our impedance transformers are available using two different topologies: Binocular cores or  toroid cores with multiple turns for increased effectiveness and wide band frequency transformations.  We utilize single and multiple core transformers using high order windings when needed to extend product performance.

We rate the power ratings as watts PEP (Peak Envelop Power) with standard duty cycles for various modes. To determine the PEP rating required for your needs, see: Choke & Transformer Power Ratings
