0868BM15C0001001E

Overview

The Johanson Technology 0868BM15C0001001E is an impedance-matched balun with an integrated low-pass filter designed for Sub-GHz applications. It operates within the 863 MHz to 873 MHz frequency range, supporting 868 MHz and 915 MHz bands. The component features a 50-ohm single-ended impedance and utilizes SMD/SMT termination in a compact 0805 (2012 metric) package. It functions as a signal conditioning device, providing balanced-to-unbalanced conversion and filtering for wireless front-end designs.

Feature Summary

• Integrates impedance matching, balun functionality, and low-pass filtering into a single passive component
• Optimized specifically for Texas Instruments CC11XX chipset architectures
• Provides compact RF front-end solution reducing board space requirements

Applications

• Texas Instruments CC11XX Sub-GHz transceiver circuits
• Wireless sensor network node designs
• Industrial telemetry systems operating in the 868 MHz band

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '001E' against the manufacturer's current global part number list, as Johanson frequently updates revision codes. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the latest datasheet. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel or cut-tape availability constraints specified by authorized distributors. Cross-reference the Mouser catalog number 609-0868BM15C0001001E for accurate sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for TI CC11XX platforms requiring integrated balun-filter solutions. The 0805 footprint suits space-constrained layouts. Verify that the 863-873 MHz operational bandwidth matches the target regulatory frequency mask. Consider thermal limits of -40°C to +85°C for environmental compatibility. This part replaces older generic baluns by combining multiple discrete functions.

Part Context

This component belongs to Johanson’s BM series of signal conditioning devices. It serves as an integrated passive device combining balun and filter technologies. The product line targets Sub-GHz wireless markets, offering simplified RF front-end integration. It complements other Johanson components like the 0896BM15A0001001E for broader frequency coverage needs.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not explicitly documented in the provided source material. Designers should consult the official Johanson Technology replacement guide or datasheet revision notes for validated alternatives.
