ABSES5AF-L100KM

Overview

The ABSES5AF-L100KM is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for general-purpose RF applications. It operates with a center frequency of 1582.4 MHz and features a bandwidth of 46 MHz. The component exhibits an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and is housed in a compact 5-SMD, no-lead package measuring 1.10 mm in length, 0.90 mm in width, and 0.70 mm in maximum height. It supports a humidity sensitivity level (MSL) of 3, corresponding to 168 hours at peak reflow temperatures.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for precise signal filtering
• Optimized for high-frequency RF signal conditioning
• Compact surface-mount design suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts

Applications

• GNSS receiver front-end filtering
• General-purpose RF signal processing
• Wireless communication modules requiring bandpass filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your production needs, as Abracon offers various packaging options including tape and reel, cut tape, and Digi-Reel. Confirm that the selected variant matches your automated assembly equipment requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 directives and check for any recent engineering change notices regarding material or dimensional specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass characteristic around 1.58 GHz is required for L-band signals. The low insertion loss of 1.2 dB helps maintain signal integrity in sensitive RF chains. Consider the small 5-SMD footprint if board real estate is limited. Verify thermal management capabilities during reflow soldering, given the MSL 3 rating and maximum height constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ABSE series of SAW filters from Abracon, which are engineered for robust performance in demanding RF environments. The series typically includes variants tuned for different frequency bands, allowing designers to standardize on a single manufacturer's footprint and reliability standards across multiple product lines while achieving specific spectral requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1582.4 MHz center frequency, 46 MHz bandwidth, and 5-SMD package dimensions. Cross-referencing with other manufacturers' L-band SAW filters requires verifying pinout compatibility and electrical tolerance alignment to ensure seamless integration without circuit redesign.
