BFCN-2435+

Overview

The BFCN-2435+ is an LTCC bandpass filter designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a passband of 2340 MHz to 2530 MHz, centered at 2435 MHz with a bandwidth of 190 MHz. The component maintains a 50-ohm impedance and utilizes a compact FV1206 case style measuring 3.2mm x 1.6mm. Constructed with 12 layers, it ensures high performance repeatability and low insertion loss.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes LTCC technology for miniature size and high performance repeatability
• Provides effective signal conditioning through defined bandpass filtering
• Designed for surface mount integration in space-constrained environments

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring specific frequency selection
• RF front-end modules needing interference rejection
• Signal processing circuits operating near the 2.4 GHz ISM band

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version and mechanical drawings before finalizing designs. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated on official manufacturer documentation. Ensure PCB layout accommodates the FV1206 footprint dimensions precisely. Cross-reference electrical specifications against current application requirements to validate suitability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency around 2.435 GHz is required. Consider the physical constraints of the FV1206 package for board space limitations. Evaluate the need for low insertion loss and sharp rejection characteristics typical of LTCC filters. Ensure system impedance matches the standard 50-ohm specification provided by the manufacturer.
