AE15L9173

Overview

The AE15L9173 is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It features a cutoff frequency of 15 MHz and a bandwidth of 800 kHz. The module incorporates SMA connectors for interface connectivity. Electrical performance specifications include an attenuation greater than 14 dB and an insertion loss of less than 2.0 dB.

Feature Summary

• Low-pass filtering capability with a defined 15 MHz cutoff threshold
• Attenuates signals above the specified frequency while passing lower frequencies
• Integrated SMA connector interfaces for direct system integration

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Noise suppression in electronic test equipment
• Frequency selection in radio frequency circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector orientation. Ensure environmental ratings match operational requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for assembly processes. Cross-reference pinout diagrams with existing PCB layouts to guarantee compatibility before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff at 15 MHz is required. Evaluate insertion loss constraints against system sensitivity. Consider physical size relative to available board space. Verify that the SMA interface matches existing cable assemblies or adapter requirements for seamless integration.

Part Context

Anatech Electronics Inc. specializes in RF and microwave components, including filters and amplifiers. The company operates as a privately held entity focused on design and manufacturing.
