BFCQ-2602+

Overview

The BFCQ-2602+ is a Surface Mount Technology (SMT) LTCC bandpass filter designed for the 5G n258 frequency band. It operates within a passband of 25 to 27.5 GHz, providing a center frequency of 26.2 GHz with a bandwidth of 2.5 GHz. The component maintains a standard 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes an NL1008C-6 package style, equivalent to the 1008 (2520 Metric) footprint. Key electrical specifications include a maximum passband loss of 2 dB and a rejection level of up to 40 dB.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using multilayer ceramic technology for miniature size and high repeatability
• Designed specifically for the 5G n258 frequency band applications
• Features wrap-around electrode construction for enhanced performance

Applications

• 5G n258 band communication systems
• Microwave RF front-end modules
• Base station receiver filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and reel quantity when purchasing. Confirm that the required evaluation board, such as TB-BFCQ-2602C+, is available if testing is needed before integration. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets to validate the LTCC construction and electrical parameters against the 25 to 27.5 GHz specification range.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SMT solution is required for the 25 to 27.5 GHz range. The NL1008C-6 package suits space-constrained PCB layouts. Consider the 2 dB insertion loss and 40 dB rejection capabilities when designing for signal integrity in high-frequency microwave environments requiring precise bandpass characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits BFCN series of LTCC bandpass filters. These components are engineered for high reliability and consistency in microwave applications. The series spans various frequency ranges, utilizing advanced ceramic materials to achieve stable performance in demanding RF environments from DC to mmWave frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Evaluate other Mini-Circuits BFCN series filters only if they match the exact 25 to 27.5 GHz passband and NL1008C-6 package dimensions.
