Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the 930.5 MHz center frequency matches the target application requirements. Ensure the 6-SMD footprint aligns with the PCB design guidelines provided in the official datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise filtering around 930.5 MHz. Consider the 4 MHz bandwidth and 4.5 dB insertion loss against system sensitivity needs. The SMD package facilitates automated assembly processes compared to through-hole alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to Abracon's SAW filter portfolio, which provides passive signal conditioning solutions. These filters are engineered to replace bulkier LC networks, offering superior performance in miniaturized RF front-end designs for modern electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 930.5 MHz frequency, 4 MHz bandwidth, and 6-SMD package dimensions. Verify electrical specifications such as insertion loss and attenuation curves against the original datasheet to ensure functional equivalence.
