BFCN-3700+

Overview

The BFCN-3700+ is an LTCC bandpass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 3000 to 4600 MHz with a center frequency of 3700 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes a 4-SMD, no lead package style designated as FV1206-4.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for compact integration
• Designed for surface mount assembly via SMD configuration
• Provides defined passband filtering characteristics in the microwave spectrum

Applications

• RF signal path filtering
• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the BFCN-3700+ to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for LTCC components. Confirm that the 50 Ohm impedance matches the system design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed bandpass characteristic around 3.7 GHz is required. The LTCC construction offers stability suitable for microwave applications. Consider the physical dimensions of the FV1206-4 package against available PCB real estate during the design phase.
