The HybriX P2S50D surface-mount power divider features a Wilkinson circuit for 2-way power division and provides in-phase 3 dB power division for the frequency band from 800 to 1000 MHz. It is manufactured from ceramic material, which allows higher power dissipation. The device is suitable for power splitter or combiner applications in AMPS, GSM and narrowband GPS systems. The P2S50D benefits from a high 50 W power rating, isolation capabilities of 16 dB and a small size of 0.650 inch x 0.480 inch (16.51 mm x 12.19 mm).

Likewise, the HybriX P2D50J is a surface-mount power divider using a Wilkinson circuit for 2-way power division. It provides in-phase 3 dB power division for the frequency band from 1.7 to 2.0 GHz. Manufactured from ceramic material for high power dissipation, the P2D50J is designed for power splitter or combiner applications in PCS and 2G systems. It features 50 W power rating, isolation capabilities of 20 dB and a small size of 0.560 inch x 0.350 inch (14.22 mm x 8.89 mm). Other members in this family include P3S35L for 3-way power division and P4L50G for 4-way power division.

The P3S35Lpower divider is suitable for power splitter or combiner applications especially in PCS, 2.5G, 3G and UMTS systems. It provides in-phase 4.77 dB power division over the 2.0 to 2.4 GHz frequency band. Other features of P3S35L include isolation capabilities of 19 dB minimum, power rating of 35 W and a small size of 0.65 inch x 0.48 inch (16.51 mm x 12.19 mm). The 4-way P4L50G is designed for power splitter and power combiner applications in PCS and 2G systems and provides in-phase 6 dB power division for the frequency band of 1300 to 2000 MHz. Manufactured from alumina ceramic for higher power dissipation, the P4L50G features a high 50 W power rating, isolation capabilities of 13 dB minimum and a small size of 0.875 inch x 0.480 inch (22.22 mm x 12.19 mm).
