AFS14A26-915.00-T3

Overview

The AFS14A26-915.00-T3 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for general-purpose RF signal conditioning applications. It operates at a center frequency of 915 MHz with a bandwidth of 26 MHz, covering the 902 MHz to 928 MHz range. The component features a low insertion loss of approximately 2.5 dB and is housed in a compact 5-SMD surface-mount package. It supports operation within a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C and is compliant with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Surface Acoustic Wave technology for effective RF signal filtering
• Compact 5-pin SMD package design for space-constrained PCB layouts
• RoHS compliant construction for environmental safety

Applications

• RFID reader systems operating in the 915 MHz band
• Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio equipment
• General purpose wireless communication modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Abracon LLC or authorized distributors to confirm exact electrical tolerances and pin configurations. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 915 MHz center frequency and 26 MHz bandwidth specifications for your circuit design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a SAW filter is required for 915 MHz ISM band applications. Consider the 2.5 dB insertion loss and 26 MHz bandwidth against system sensitivity requirements. The 5-SMD package size should be evaluated against available PCB real estate. Verify thermal performance meets the -30°C to +85°C operational range for your environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Abracon AFS14 series of SAW filters. The series offers various center frequencies tailored for global ISM bands. The AFS14A26-915.00-T3 specifically targets the 915 MHz region, providing a standardized solution for manufacturers designing RFID or wireless sensor networks requiring reliable signal conditioning in a small footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Abracon AFS14 family that share identical 915 MHz center frequency and 26 MHz bandwidth. Verify pin compatibility and package dimensions before substituting with other manufacturers' SAW filters to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
