BLP-100+

Overview

The BLP-100+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It provides a cutoff frequency of 98 MHz with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C and supports a maximum RF input power of 0.5W. It utilizes the FF55 case style for physical integration.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC circuit topology
• Low-pass filtering function
• Coaxial housing design

Applications

• Test and video equipment
• Laboratory use
• Defense communications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and environmental rating (ENV28) against project requirements. Confirm that the 50-ohm impedance and 98 MHz cutoff align with system specifications. Ensure compatibility with the FF55 package dimensions for PCB layout or chassis mounting. Validate thermal performance under maximum rated power conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff near 100 MHz is required in a compact form factor. The 50-ohm impedance suits standard RF systems. Consider the operating temperature range for harsh environments. Evaluate insertion loss and stopband attenuation if detailed electrical performance beyond the cutoff is critical for signal integrity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BLP series of coaxial low-pass filters from Mini-Circuits. The series covers various cutoff frequencies while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical standards. These components are designed for high reliability in RF and microwave applications, supporting frequencies up to 86 GHz across the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts such as the BLP-100-75+ if a 75-ohm impedance is needed instead of 50 ohms. Verify that substitute components match the FF55 package and electrical specifications exactly.
