AE174L9206-SMAF

Overview

The AE174L9206-SMAF is a high-power LC low-pass RF filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It features a cutoff frequency of 174 MHz and utilizes SMA connectors for interface. The component provides an insertion loss of 1 dB maximum at DC to the passband. Attenuation specifications include 10 dB minimum and 40 dB at frequencies ranging from 252 MHz to 840 MHz. This module is designed for radio frequency applications requiring signal filtering within the specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• High power LC low-pass filter design
• SMA connector interface
• 174 MHz cutoff frequency

Applications

• Military / Defense systems
• Commercial RF equipment
• Press and broadcast technology

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SMAF confirms the SMA connector type when sourcing. Ensure the application environment supports the high-power handling capabilities inherent to this LC filter design. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise thermal and impedance parameters before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a sharp low-pass response centered at 174 MHz. The SMA interface suits standard coaxial setups. Consider the high-power LC construction if significant signal amplitude is present. Evaluate attenuation requirements against the specified 10 dB minimum at higher frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AE174L9206 series from Anatech Electronics, which offers various connector options such as TNCM. The series focuses on high-performance RF filtering solutions. The SMAF variant specifically denotes the use of SMA connectors, differentiating it from other physical interface configurations within the same electrical specification family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the AE174L9206-TNCM, which shares identical electrical characteristics but utilizes TNC connectors instead of SMA. Verify mechanical fit and connector compatibility when swapping between these variants.
