Ceramic Bandpass Filter BFCN-7331+ 50 6850 to 7850 MHz The Big Deal LTCC construction CASE STYLE: FV1206-4 Temperature stable from -55 to +100C Small size (0.126 x .063 X .037) Product Overview The BFCN-7331+ LTCC bandpass filter covers the 6850 to 7850 MHz passband with 1.4 dB passband insertion loss, 23 dB lower stop band rejection, and 20 dB upper stopband rejection. This model handles up to 2.5W RF input power and provides a wide operating temperature range from -55 to +100C. Utiliz- ing LTCC multi-layer construction, the filter achieves excellent repeatability of performance and comes in a tiny 1206 ceramic package with wraparound terminations, minimizing performance variations due to parasitics and saving space in dense PCB layouts. Key Features Feature Advantages Provides a rugged package well suited for tough environments such as high humidity LTCC Construction and temperature extremes. Tiny size (0.126 x .063 x .037) Saves space in dense circuit boards and minimizes the effects of parasitics. Wrap-around terminations Provides excellent solderability and easy visual inspection Wide operating temperature range, Enables reliable performance in extreme environments -55 to +100C Notes A.
