B016MD6S

Overview

The B016MD6S is a surface mount bandpass filter manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates at a center frequency of 1.575 GHz with a bandwidth of 4 dB. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes SMD/SMT termination types for board mounting. It is rated for operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. This RF filter is part of the Bandpass series and is RoHS compliant.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for automated PCB assembly
• Designed for precise signal conditioning in RF circuits
• Operates at L-band frequencies suitable for GNSS applications

Applications

• Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
• GPS receiver front-ends
• Radio frequency signal processing modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before procurement. Confirm that the operating temperature range and impedance requirements align with the target circuit design specifications to ensure compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandwidth filter is required at 1.575 GHz. Ensure the PCB layout supports the specified surface mount package dimensions. Verify that the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm specification to minimize signal reflection and insertion loss.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Knowles Dielectric Labs B016MD series of RF bandpass filters. It is distinct from higher-frequency models such as the B070MB6S or B121MB4S, which operate in the microwave range. The B016MD6S is specifically engineered for lower frequency L-band applications compared to the broader family offerings.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate alternative L-band filters from the same manufacturer only if they share identical electrical parameters and physical footprint constraints.
