BFTC-415+

Overview

The BFTC-415+ is an LTCC bandpass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 330 to 500 MHz with a center frequency of 415 MHz and a bandwidth of 170 MHz. The device features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes surface-mount technology (SMT) termination in a six-pin, no-lead package. It provides 25 dB upper and lower stopband rejection and can handle up to 4W of RF input power.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) construction for robust signal conditioning
• Provides defined passband filtering between 330 and 500 MHz
• Supports high-power applications with a 4W RF input handling capability

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Frequency selection in radio frequency circuits
• Interference rejection in electronic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing the BFTC-415+ to ensure compliance with current RoHS and REACH standards. Confirm that the SMT package dimensions match your PCB layout requirements. Check for any updated pinout configurations or thermal management guidelines provided by Mini-Circuits prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select the BFTC-415+ when a fixed center frequency of 415 MHz is required with a 170 MHz bandwidth. Ensure the application environment supports the specified 4W power handling limit. Verify that the 50 Ohm system impedance aligns with the rest of the circuit design to minimize reflection losses and maintain signal integrity across the 330 to 500 MHz operating range.

Part Context

This component belongs to Mini-Circuits' LTCC bandpass filter series, designed for reliable performance in RF environments. The BFTC-415+ specifically targets applications requiring precise frequency selection within the VHF/UHF spectrum. Its compact SMT form factor facilitates integration into modern electronic assemblies where space constraints are critical.
