AFS869S3-T

Overview

The AFS869S3-T is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for signal conditioning in RF applications. Operating at a center frequency of 869 MHz, this component features an 8 MHz bandwidth and a nominal insertion loss of 4.5 dB. It is rated for a maximum voltage of 10 V and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. The device supports a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +80°C and utilizes a 6-SMD surface mount package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for precise RF signal filtering
• Optimized for remote control and automotive electronics applications
• Designed for board mounting with SMD termination

Applications

• Automotive electronics systems
• Remote control devices
• RF signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates the required tape and reel or cut tape packaging configuration as per the manufacturer's standard. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Ensure the 6-SMD footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions precisely. Validate that the 869 MHz center frequency aligns with regional regulatory requirements for the intended market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrowband SAW filter is required for 869 MHz operations with low insertion loss characteristics. Consider the 8 MHz bandwidth for application-specific selectivity needs. Evaluate the 10 V rating against circuit supply voltages. The -30°C to +80°C range suits most commercial and automotive environments without requiring extended industrial grade components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AFS series of SAW filters from Abracon, specifically engineered for RF signal processing. It serves as a passive component within the broader category of signal conditioning devices. The design focuses on compact surface-mount integration for high-frequency applications where size and performance are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Abracon documentation for direct cross-references. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters such as bandwidth and insertion loss if substituting with other 869 MHz SAW filters.
