5:1 Baluns/Ununs

5:1 CUBE™ Unun – Model CU-5-1500 (50:250 Ohm, 1.8-61 MHz, 1.5KW PEP)

Application. For traveling wave, end fed or portable 20-31 foot vertical antennas the 5:1 unun makes a good transformer for converting 50 ohm coax to a 250 ohm feed point. If you use the antenna on multiple bands, the feed point impedance may not always be 250 ohms and use of the unun at high (>350 ohms) or low (<100 ohms) will require reduced power input or the unun may have its power ratings exceeded and damage to the unun may occur. The (5:1 conversion ratio will change for loads other than 250 ohms unbalanced.

Typical application:

Also available as a balanced output – CB-5-1500

The CB-1-1500DS Antenna Antenna Tuner Balun is a 50 ohm to 50 ohm, multi-core feed line choke designed to provide high choking impedance between a balanced ladder line feed line antennas (zepp, G5RV, extended double zepp, etc.) or single ended antennas like 1/4 wave verticals and a remote antenna tuner (including an automatic antenna tuner with only a single output and ground, like SGC-230, Icom AH-4, etc) short 50 ohm coax feed line (to antenna tuner) at a power of 1500 watts PEP from 1.8 to 61 MHz.

The input and output connectors are double studs marked +/-.

The CB-1-1500DS is configured as a Guanilla transmission line transformer with balanced outputs (current balun configuration). It is best used when ladder line impedance seen at the end of the ladder line to balun connection is close to 50-150 ohms. Enclosure box is 4″ x 4″ x 2″. Typical choking impedance range is 1K-10K ohms from 1-61 MHz.
