AFS20A26-915.00-T3

Overview

The AFS20A26-915.00-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 and an insertion loss of 2 dB. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and is rated for a voltage of 3 V. It utilizes SMD/SMT mounting in a compact package measuring 2 mm x 1.6 mm x 0.9 mm. The device supports operation within a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for precise RF filtering
• Optimized for 915 MHz ISM band applications
• Compact surface-mount design for space-constrained PCBs

Applications

• General purpose RF signal conditioning
• ISM band communication systems
• Wireless sensor networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T3 corresponds to the required packaging format, such as cut tape or reel, against official Abracon documentation. Confirm that the 3 V rating and 50 Ohm impedance align with your circuit requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C meets environmental specifications. Cross-reference the 4-SMD footprint dimensions with your board layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile SAW filter is required for 915 MHz applications. The 26 MHz bandwidth provides adequate selectivity for general-purpose uses. Consider the 2 dB insertion loss impact on system sensitivity. The small 2x1.6 mm package facilitates high-density layouts. Verify compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes given the ceramic construction typical of SAW devices.
