ABF-7G+

Overview

The ABF-7G+ is a thin film bandpass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a frequency range of 6500 to 7500 MHz with a center frequency of 7 GHz and a bandwidth of 1 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes advanced thin film technology for high precision. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of approximately 2.5 dB. It is housed in a compact SMT package measuring 8.13mm x 5.59mm. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C and complies with RoHS and REACH standards.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction ensures high precision and consistent performance across extreme temperatures.
• Compact surface mount footprint optimizes space efficiency in dense RF layouts.
• High selectivity and strong out-of-band rejection minimize signal distortion.

Applications

• Satellite communication systems
• Radar equipment
• Test and measurement instruments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the ABF-7G+ to confirm exact insertion loss values, as sources vary between 1.3 dB and 2.5 dB. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C for your application environment. Confirm that the 50 Ohm impedance matches your system design. Check for RoHS and REACH compliance requirements if applicable to your region.

Selection Notes

Select the ABF-7G+ when a narrow 1 GHz bandwidth centered at 7 GHz is required in a small form factor. Consider this component for designs needing robust thermal stability up to 125°C. Compare against other ABF series models like ABF-9R3G+ if higher frequency ranges are needed. Ensure the surface mount package dimensions fit the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

The ABF-7G+ belongs to the ABF series of thin film bandpass filters from Mini-Circuits. This series covers frequencies from 6.5 GHz to 9.3 GHz. The components are engineered for commercial and military-grade reliability. They utilize proprietary thin film technology to achieve low insertion loss and high suppression. The series is optimized for wireless and microwave applications requiring precise filtering characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for direct replacement. Evaluate other ABF series models such as ABF-9R3G+ only if frequency range adjustments are acceptable. Verify pinout and footprint compatibility before considering any alternative components.
