B120RF0W-T

Overview

The B120RF0W-T is a surface mount bandpass RF filter manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs. It operates at a center frequency of 12 GHz with a bandwidth of 12 GHz. The component features an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and is housed in a 12-SMD, no-lead package. Designed for board mounting, it supports SMD/SMT termination types and functions within a standard industrial temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Provides signal conditioning through bandpass filtering capabilities
• Engineered for high-frequency radio frequency applications
• Utilizes a compact surface mount form factor for automated assembly

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring 12 GHz filtering
• Radio frequency front-end modules
• Signal processing circuits operating at microwave frequencies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances before integration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the 12-SMD no-lead package. Confirm that the 2.5 dB insertion loss meets system link budget requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 12 GHz center frequency bandpass response is required. The low insertion loss makes it suitable for sensitive receiver chains. Consider the surface mount package size against available board real estate. Verify that the operating frequency aligns with the intended application spectrum without requiring additional tuning components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RF filter category from Knowles Dielectric Labs. It is distinct from other models like B121KB3S which operate at different frequencies. The suffix indicates specific packaging or handling characteristics common to the manufacturer's surface mount line. It serves as a passive signal conditioning element within larger RF subsystems.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate alternative filters only after verifying exact frequency and bandwidth specifications match the design requirements.
