10-50TVC Flanged RF Termination 10W 50 Ohm DC–4.0 GHz
10-50TVC Flanged RF Termination 10W 50 Ohm DC–4.0 GHz
10-50TVC Flanged RF Termination — 10 Watts, 50 Ohms, DC to 4.0 GHz
The 10-50TVC Flanged Resistive Termination is a precision RF load designed for broadband signal termination from DC through 4.0 GHz. Built with a thick-film non-nichrome resistive element on a beryllium oxide (BeO) ceramic substrate, this termination delivers outstanding thermal dissipation and exceptional electrical stability at up to 10 Watts continuous power. Ideal for RF test benches, transmitter dummy loads, network analyzers, and coaxial system port termination where a clean, low-VSWR 50-ohm match is required.
Every unit is 100% individually tested before shipment, ensuring you receive a component that meets its rated specifications right out of the box. Made in Mainland China.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What connector type does the 10-50TVC flanged termination use?
A: The 10-50TVC is a flanged (chip-style) RF termination designed to be soldered or mounted to a circuit board or chassis using its copper nickel-plated mounting flange. It uses pure silver leads for direct circuit integration rather than a coaxial connector. If you need a coaxial-connector-style termination, please check the compatible 10-50TV or 10-50TVR variants.
Q: Why is a BeO (beryllium oxide) ceramic substrate used?
A: Beryllium oxide ceramic offers extremely high thermal conductivity — far higher than standard alumina ceramic — allowing the component to efficiently transfer heat away from the resistive element during high-power operation. This makes it well-suited for continuous 10W RF loads where thermal management is critical to long-term component reliability.
Q: What does a VSWR of 1.3:1 mean for this termination?
A: VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of 1.3:1 indicates that across the full DC to 4.0 GHz frequency range, very little signal is reflected back from the termination — meaning it presents a very close match to the standard 50-ohm system impedance. A lower VSWR results in cleaner signal absorption and minimizes measurement errors or signal integrity issues in your RF system.
Q: Is this component compatible with SMA or N-type RF systems?
A: The 10-50TVC is a flanged chip termination and does not include an integral SMA or N-type connector. It is intended for direct PCB or chassis mounting. For systems requiring a connector-integrated 50-ohm load at DC–4.0 GHz, you may need an adapter or a different product series.
