BPF-A60+

Overview

The Mini-Circuits BPF-A60+ is a surface-mount bandpass filter designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates with a center frequency of 60 MHz and provides a bandwidth of 10 MHz, defined as ±5 MHz around the center point. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes lumped LC technology within a shielded case to ensure performance stability. It supports an RF input power range from 0.08W to 5W and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The physical dimensions are 0.365 inches by 1.360 inches by 0.35 inches.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes shielded surface-mount packaging fabricated with SMT technology to minimize interference.
• Employs lumped LC design architecture for precise frequency selection and rejection.
• Provides aqueous washable construction suitable for various manufacturing processes.

Applications

• Harmonic rejection in RF circuits
• Transmitter and receiver signal conditioning
• Industrial microwave and RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before integration, as Mini-Circuits may update electrical specifications or mechanical drawings without notice. Confirm that the 50 Ohm impedance aligns with your system requirements. Ensure the 5W maximum input power rating exceeds your operational signal levels to prevent component damage. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your assembly standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 60 MHz center frequency with a 10 MHz bandwidth is required. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF infrastructure. Consider the shielded SMD package for space-constrained designs requiring isolation. Verify that the -40°C to +85°C temperature range covers your environmental conditions. Evaluate the 0.08W to 5W power handling against your signal strength.
