AE1.2L8836

Overview

The AE1.2L8836 is a 1.2 MHz LC lowpass RF filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It features a cutoff frequency of 1.2 MHz and a passband extending to 600 kHz. The component exhibits an insertion loss of less than 0.5 dB within the passband and a minimum attenuation of 3.5 dB at the cutoff frequency. At 3.0 MHz, it provides greater than 45 dB of rejection. The unit is housed in an in-line module configuration with BNC connectors for direct integration into signal chains.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes lumped element LC topology for compact lowpass filtering
• Provides high attenuation above the cutoff frequency to suppress interference
• Features BNC connectors for straightforward in-line installation

Applications

• Military and defense signal processing systems
• Commercial RF instrumentation
• Precision measurement equipment requiring low-frequency filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and connector orientation before procurement. Confirm that the BNC interface matches existing test fixtures. Ensure the 1.2 MHz cutoff aligns with system requirements. Request manufacturer documentation to validate performance specifications against application needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff near 1.2 MHz is required with minimal passband ripple. The BNC interface suits benchtop or modular rack applications. Consider the physical size and connector type relative to available space. Evaluate the attenuation characteristics at 3.0 MHz to ensure adequate noise suppression for the target environment.
