AEQ05467-T

Overview

The AEQ05467-T is a surface-mount gain equalizer from Knowles Dielectric Labs, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The component utilizes low-loss, high permittivity ceramics and features fully shielded construction to ensure minimal performance variation over temperature. It is housed in a compact 0302 (0605 metric) package with SMD/SMT termination style. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and undergoes 100% testing and inspection.

Feature Summary

• Fully shielded construction ensures minimal performance variation over temperature
• Incorporates low-loss, high permittivity ceramics for stable operation
• Provides excellent repeatability and drop-in solution for high-frequency attenuation

Applications

• Military Electronic Warfare (EW)
• Electronic Countermeasures (ECM)
• High-frequency attenuation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '-T' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 0302 footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions. Ensure the 50-Ohm impedance specification aligns with the system's transmission line requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards for the intended market. Validate the 18 GHz upper frequency limit against the application's spectral needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband DC-to-18 GHz response is required within a miniature surface-mount form factor. The fully shielded design is critical for environments demanding high isolation and stability against thermal fluctuations. Consider the 0302 package size for space-constrained board layouts. The 100% tested nature of the components ensures consistent performance for high-reliability military and aerospace deployments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AEQ series of gain equalizers manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs. The series utilizes advanced ceramic materials to provide signal conditioning in RF and microwave circuits. These components are engineered for high-frequency applications where size, weight, and performance stability are paramount constraints.

Replacement Considerations

AEQ05467-10 is a confirmed substitute part number offering similar gain equalizer functionality. Verify if the tray packaging of the -10 variant is compatible with the manufacturing process replacing the -T reel format.
