Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the MA406A-62 be used as a tuning varactor in a VCO at 2.4 GHz?
A: Yes. The MA406A-62 is suitable for VCO tuning applications in the low-GHz range. Verify the capacitance-voltage curve from the datasheet against your required tuning range and Q requirements at 2.4 GHz.
Q: What is the difference between a varactor diode and a standard rectifier diode?
A: A varactor (variable reactance) diode is optimized for its voltage-dependent junction capacitance, not forward conduction. The MA406A-62 is designed to operate in reverse bias, where its capacitance varies predictably with applied voltage — enabling electronic frequency tuning without mechanical components.
Q: Is this component suitable for automotive or IATF 16949 applications?
A: The MA406A-62 is an industrial-grade component. For automotive qualification, contact us to discuss AEC-Q101 screening options or alternative OMRON automotive-grade parts.
Q: Can Konmask provide a datasheet and test report?
A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com with your order reference or inquiry number to request the official OMRON datasheet and available test documentation.
Q: Do you offer consignment or Kanban replenishment for this part?
A: Yes, for qualified B2B accounts. Contact our sales team to discuss VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) arrangements for ongoing production requirements.
