BLP-10.7+

Overview

The Mini-Circuits BLP-10.7+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter designed for signal conditioning applications within the radio frequency and intermediate frequency spectrum. It provides effective filtering from DC up to a cutoff frequency of 11 MHz, ensuring precise attenuation of higher-frequency signals while maintaining signal integrity in the passband. The component operates with a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms, making it compatible with standard RF systems. It features BNC connectors for secure inline installation and utilizes the FF55 case style. The unit is rated for an operating temperature range from -55°C to +100°C, supporting robust performance in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC architecture for precise low-pass filtering characteristics
• BNC connector interface for reliable inline circuit integration
• Wide operational temperature range suitable for industrial conditions

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Intermediate frequency (IF) processing stages
• General-purpose low-pass filtering in communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and environmental rating (ENV28) prior to procurement. Confirm that the 50-ohm impedance specification aligns with your system requirements. Ensure the BNC connector type matches your existing infrastructure. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate the operating temperature limits against your intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff below 15 MHz is required with minimal insertion loss in the passband. The 50-ohm impedance makes it suitable for standard RF test equipment and communication links. Consider the FF55 package size for space-constrained designs requiring robust mechanical connections via BNC ports. Evaluate thermal management needs given the wide operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BLP series of lumped LC low-pass filters manufactured by Mini-Circuits. These components are engineered for high-performance signal conditioning in RF and IF applications. The series offers various cutoff frequencies, with the BLP-10.7+ specifically targeting sub-15 MHz filtering needs. It represents a standard solution for attenuating high-frequency noise while preserving lower-frequency signal content.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Mini-Circuits BLP series models with similar cutoff frequencies, such as the BLP-10.7-75+ for 75-ohm systems. Cross-reference specifications carefully to ensure impedance matching and connector compatibility before substitution.
