AFS303.825E

Overview

The AFS303.825E is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for precise signal conditioning applications. It operates at a center frequency of 303.825 MHz with a bandwidth of 500 kHz and an insertion loss of 1.7 dB. The component utilizes an 8-SMD, no-lead surface mount package measuring 5 mm in length, 5 mm in width, and 1.5 mm in height. It is RoHS compliant and suitable for environments requiring reliable RF filtering.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for efficient signal filtering
• Provides low insertion loss for minimal signal degradation
• Compact surface-mount design facilitates automated assembly

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Wireless communication systems
• Industrial control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical parameters such as insertion loss and bandwidth match your design requirements. Ensure the 8-SMD package dimensions align with your PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar SAW filters in the Abracon portfolio.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass filter centered at 303.825 MHz is required. The 500 kHz bandwidth defines the passband characteristics. Consider the 1.7 dB insertion loss impact on system gain. The SMD package size dictates board space allocation. Verify thermal performance within the specified operating range for your application environment.

Part Context

This SAW filter belongs to Abracon's RF filtering portfolio, targeting high-frequency signal processing needs. It complements other Abracon resonators and oscillators by providing necessary frequency selection capabilities. The device supports modern electronics requiring compact, high-performance passive components for maintaining signal integrity in crowded RF spectrums.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical 303.825 MHz center frequency and 500 kHz bandwidth. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same 8-SMD package outline and pin configuration. Verify that alternative SAW filters offer comparable insertion loss specifications to prevent system performance deviation.
