AFS14A72-2436.00-T2

Overview

The AFS14A72-2436.00-T2 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for general-purpose RF signal conditioning applications. This component operates at a center frequency of 2.436 GHz with a bandwidth of 72 MHz. It features an insertion loss of 3.5 dB and is rated for a voltage of 3 V. The device utilizes a 50 Ohm impedance and is housed in a compact 1.4 mm x 1.1 mm x 0.7 mm surface mount package with SMD/SMT termination style.

Feature Summary

• Surface Acoustic Wave technology for effective out-of-band rejection
• Compact surface mount design suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts
• Optimized insertion loss balancing performance and signal integrity

Applications

• General purpose RF signal conditioning
• Wireless communication modules
• RF front-end filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the current lifecycle status as this part is listed as obsolete. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets if sourcing for production. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and reflow soldering profiles specified for the 1.4 mm x 1.1 mm x 0.7 mm package. Cross-reference technical specifications with official datasheets to validate performance requirements for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.436 GHz center frequency and 72 MHz bandwidth are required for SAW filtering. Consider the 3.5 dB insertion loss and 50 Ohm impedance match for system integration. Evaluate the physical dimensions against board space constraints. Verify that the general-purpose classification meets the specific isolation and rejection needs of the RF circuit design.

Part Context

This SAW filter belongs to Abracon's line of surface-mount RF components. It is engineered for high-frequency applications requiring precise frequency selection. The device integrates acoustic wave propagation principles to filter signals within the defined bandwidth while attenuating unwanted frequencies outside the passband.

Replacement Considerations

The AFS14A72-2436.00-T3 is documented as an equivalent variant with identical electrical specifications including the 2.436 GHz frequency and 72 MHz bandwidth. Verify pinout and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
