BFCQ-2552+

Overview

The BFCQ-2552+ is a surface-mount LTCC bandpass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a center frequency range of 25.2 GHz to 26.6 GHz, providing a bandwidth of 1.4 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and is housed in an NL1008C-6 (1008/2520 metric) package. It is designed to handle up to 1W of RF input power. The device complies with RoHS and REACH standards.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust signal conditioning
• Supports high-power handling capabilities up to 1W RF input
• Designed for surface-mount assembly using standard pick-and-place processes

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring precise frequency selection
• RF front-end modules operating in the K-band spectrum
• Signal conditioning circuits for high-frequency data transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as performance graphs may vary between revisions. Confirm that the NL1008C-6 package footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm system impedance. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required for your manufacturing process. Validate the 1W power rating against your actual operational conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-power LTCC filter is needed for frequencies around 25-26 GHz. The 1008 package size offers a balance between performance and board space efficiency. Consider the 1.4 GHz bandwidth relative to your signal requirements. Ensure the application environment supports the thermal characteristics of ceramic filters. Verify that the surface-mount form factor aligns with your assembly capabilities.
