AFS916.5S3

Overview

The AFS916.5S3 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for RF applications at a center frequency of 916.5 MHz. It features a bandwidth of 7 MHz and an insertion loss of 4.5 dB. The component is housed in a compact 6-SMD, No Lead package with dimensions of 3.8 mm in length, 3.8 mm in width, and 1.5 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for signal filtering
• Optimized for remote control RF applications
• Compact surface-mount design for space-constrained layouts

Applications

• Remote control systems
• RF signal processing circuits
• Wireless communication devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct packaging configuration, such as Tape & Reel (TR), matches project requirements. Confirm that the 6-SMD No Lead package dimensions align with PCB footprint specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT assembly processes for small outline components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a SAW filter is required for 916.5 MHz operation with a 7 MHz bandwidth. Consider the 4.5 dB insertion loss impact on system sensitivity. Evaluate the 3.8 x 3.8 mm footprint against available board space. Verify thermal and mechanical constraints for the low-profile 1.5 mm height package.

Part Context

This part belongs to Abracon's SAW filter portfolio, which provides passive frequency selection solutions. These devices are engineered for precision timing and RF filtering in consumer electronics and industrial applications. The series emphasizes reliability and consistent performance across varying environmental conditions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify electrical parameters including center frequency, bandwidth, and insertion loss match original specifications. Ensure physical package dimensions and pinout configurations are identical to maintain PCB compatibility.
