B168MB1S

Overview

The B168MB1S is a surface-mount bandpass filter manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs, designed for signal conditioning applications in the radio frequency spectrum. It operates at a center frequency of 16.75 GHz with a bandwidth of 2 GHz. The component features an insertion loss of 2.75 dB and is housed in a compact 2-SMD, no-lead package suitable for board mounting.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction for automated assembly
• Bandpass filtering capability at 16.75 GHz
• Compact two-terminal no-lead package design

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Wireless communication systems operating near 16.75 GHz
• Evaluation boards for RF filter testing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances before integration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the 2-SMD no-lead package. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number B168MB1S with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 16.75 GHz and a 2 GHz bandwidth are required. The low insertion loss of 2.75 dB makes it suitable for sensitive RF paths. Consider the SMD form factor for space-constrained designs requiring robust board mounting without through-hole requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the bandpass filter category within Knowles Dielectric Labs' portfolio. It is distinct from other models like B274MB1S or B095MB1S by its specific 16.75 GHz operating frequency and 2 GHz bandwidth specifications. It serves as a specialized passive component for high-frequency signal management.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify if alternative filters from the same manufacturer meet the 16.75 GHz center frequency and 2.75 dB insertion loss requirements.
