BPF-B63+

Overview

The BPF-B63+ is a narrow-band surface-mount bandpass filter from Mini-Circuits, fabricated using lumped LC technology. It operates at a center frequency of 63 MHz with a bandwidth of 4 MHz (63 MHz ± 2 MHz). The component features an insertion loss of 5 dB and is housed in the HZ1198 package. Designed for signal conditioning, it supports RF input power ranging from 0.08W to 5W and offers impedance options of 50Ω or 75Ω. The unit functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes lumped LC technology for precise signal filtering
• Enclosed in a shielded SMT case for electromagnetic isolation
• Provides specific passband rejection for out-of-band signals

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version for the BPF-B63+ to confirm impedance and VSWR specifications prior to integration. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the HZ1198 package dimensions. Confirm that the system's RF input power remains within the 0.08W to 5W limit to prevent component damage. Check for aqueous washable variants if post-assembly cleaning is required by the manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select the BPF-B63+ when a fixed 63 MHz center frequency with 4 MHz bandwidth is required. Consider the HZ1198 package size for space-constrained designs. Verify compatibility with 50Ω or 75Ω system impedances. Evaluate the 5 dB insertion loss against link budget requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
