AM1542B556

Overview

The AM1542B556 is a ceramic band pass filter manufactured by Anatech Electronics Inc. It operates with a center frequency of 1.542 GHz and provides a bandwidth of 34 MHz, covering the range from 1525 to 1559 MHz. The component features an insertion loss of 1 dB and is designed for a 50 Ohm impedance system. It utilizes a monoblock package with four pad contacts and supports surface mount mounting types.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes ceramic construction for stable band pass filtering characteristics
• Designed for surface mount integration via monoblock package
• Optimized for 50 Ohm system impedance applications

Applications

• RF signal processing in communication systems
• Frequency selection in wireless transceivers
• Signal conditioning in electronic test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances before integration. Confirm that the monoblock package style matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 34 MHz bandwidth is required around 1.542 GHz. The low insertion loss specification makes it suitable for sensitive RF front-ends. Consider the physical size constraints of the monoblock package during layout design. Verify that the operating environment does not exceed the thermal limits defined in the official documentation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the family of ceramic band pass filters produced by Anatech Electronics Inc. These components are engineered for high-frequency applications requiring precise frequency control. The monoblock design offers a compact solution for integrating filtering functions into space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

The AM1542B556-E variant exists within the same product line. Verify if the suffix indicates any functional or packaging differences before substitution. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure board compatibility.
