DX Engineering High Power Transmission Line Transformers and Baluns with Maxi-CoreTM Technology, allows your antenna perform to its full potential and reduces the stresses on your equipment.  This current balun forces the RF currents to be equal and balanced - assuring the best efficiency from your balanced antenna or transmission line application.  Note that some antenna designs are not balanced - requiring additional care in matching to achieve some level of performance. 

They deliver the power to your antenna with minimum loss and perform a perfect transition from balanced to unbalanced. This results in the strongest signal your antenna’s capable of producing with the lowest SWR under given conditions.

While each of the DX Engineering baluns have been designed with a safety factor for power, the DXE-BAL050-H05-A will handle more than its rated power on a regular basis.  Under higher mismatch conditions, if you run more than 1500 watts and are little unsure of the environment in which your balun will be placed then you should order the DXE-BAL050-H10-A.

• 1.8 – 30 MHz operating range to cover popular amateur bands.
• Smaller size and weight make it an ideal choice for a wire antenna balun
• Provides a great match between the coax impedance and the antenna impedance for the lowest SWR.
• Performs at the highest levels of efficiency so there is little signal loss in both transmit or receive applications.
• Handles rated power with minimal energy loss so there is no thermal related failure.

Please consult our tech article, "Choosing the Correct Balun" to determine if this Balun is right for your application.
 
To make for an easy and inexpensive installation of any formed aluminum balun in a dipole application we recommend the purchase of a DXE-BDAB-1P Balun Dipole Adaptor Bracket. The DXE-DBAB-1P comes with the mounting bracket and all necessary stainless steel hardware.
