Ceramic Low Pass Filter LFCG-530+ 50 DC to 530 MHz The Big Deal Good rejection, 30 dB typical Generic photo used for illustration purposes only CASE STYLE: GE0805C-2 Rugged, ceramic construction Tiny size, 0.079 x 0.049 x 0.037 (0805) Excellent power handling, 3.5W Product Overview Mini-Circuits LFCG-530+ is an LTCC low pass filter with a passband from DC to 530 MHz, supporting a variety of applications. This model provides 1 dB typical passband insertion loss and provides a very good stopband rejection due to strategically constructed layout with minimal interaction between components. It handles up to 3.5W RF input power and provides a wide operating temperature range from -55C to 125C. Housed in a tiny 0805 ceramic form factor with wraparound terminations, the filter is ideal for dense PCB layouts and with minimal performance variation due to parasitics. Key Features Feature Advantages Good stopband rejection, 30 dB The LTCC lowpass filter provides a good stopband rejection suitable for high end applications. typical Provides repeatable performance in a rugged, ceramic package well suited for tough environments LTCC Construction such as high humidity and temperature extremes. Tiny size (0.079 x 0.049 x 0.037 ) Saves space in dense circuit board layouts and minimizes the effects of parasitics. Excellent power handling, 3.5W Supports a wide range of system power requirements. Wrap-around terminations Provides excellent solderability and easy visual inspection Notes A.
