BFCV-2610+

Overview

The BFCV-2610+ is an LTCC bandpass filter with a center frequency of 2.61 GHz and a bandwidth of 1.22 GHz. It operates within a 50 Ohm impedance system and features a 1210 (3225 Metric) surface mount package. The device supports board mounting and functions reliably between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• LTCC construction for miniature size and high performance repeatability
• Wrap-around termination for excellent solderability and visual inspection
• Wide bandwidth enabling high data rate communication systems
• Low insertion loss and very good wide band rejection

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring high layout density
• RF signal conditioning in compact electronic devices
• Bandpass filtering in microwave circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact electrical parameters such as insertion loss and rejection levels, as these can vary by revision. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if mandated by your project specifications. Cross-reference the part number with official Mini-Circuits documentation to avoid counterfeit or obsolete stock issues during sourcing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-repeatability bandpass filter is required for 2.61 GHz applications. The LTCC technology offers superior thermal stability and mechanical robustness compared to traditional ceramic filters. Consider the 1210 footprint constraints and the need for wideband rejection characteristics in your RF front-end design before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BFCV series of LTCC bandpass filters from Mini-Circuits. These filters are designed for high-volume production environments where consistent performance and small form factors are critical. The series utilizes low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology to integrate multiple layers into a single, reliable unit suitable for modern surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like MINI-BFCV-2610+ which may share identical electrical characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and physical dimensions before replacing existing units in a design to ensure seamless integration without PCB modifications.
