Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and environmental compliance statements, such as CA Prop 65, directly from Abracon LLC or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the 6-pad SMD footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -54°C to +85°C aligns with your system's thermal environment. Cross-reference the 978 MHz center frequency and 5 MHz bandwidth against your circuit specifications to guarantee compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 978 MHz bandpass response is required in space-constrained designs. The TC-SAW architecture provides superior temperature stability compared to standard SAW filters, making it suitable for environments with significant thermal fluctuations. Consider the 2 dB insertion loss and 50 Ohm impedance when designing matching networks. The 3.0 x 3.0 mm package size offers a balance between performance and board real estate efficiency for modern electronics.
