AEQ05468-T

Overview

The AEQ05468-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 SMD/SMT termination and is housed in a compact 0302 (0605 metric) package. It supports board mounting and functions within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This device belongs to the AEQ series and is available in reel, cut tape, and MouseReel packaging formats.

Feature Summary

• Provides gain equalization for high-frequency signal paths
• Fully shielded construction for minimal performance variation over temperature
• Incorporates low-loss, high permittivity ceramics
• Offers excellent repeatability and drop-in solution capabilities

Applications

• High-frequency attenuation circuits
• Signal conditioning in RF systems
• ECCM, ECM, and EW applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and packaging format required for your production line, as the component is available in multiple configurations including reel, cut tape, and MouseReel. Ensure that the 0302 package size aligns with your PCB footprint design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before finalizing procurement orders to meet regulatory requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband gain equalizer covering DC to 18 GHz is required. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF transmission lines. Consider the -55°C to +125°C operating range for harsh environment applications. The small 0302 footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained designs requiring high-frequency signal integrity maintenance.

Part Context

The AEQ05468-T is part of the AEQ series of signal conditioning components manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs. These devices are engineered for high-frequency applications where precise gain control is critical. The series leverages advanced ceramic materials to ensure stable performance across a broad spectrum, addressing needs in defense and communication sectors.

Replacement Considerations

The AEQ05468-T is functionally similar to the AEQ05472-T, which shares the same 0 Hz to 18 GHz frequency range and 50 Ohm impedance characteristics. Both are gain equalizers in the AEQ series with identical package dimensions. Verify pinout and specific gain profiles against datasheets before substitution.
