BPF-C138+

Overview

The BPF-C138+ is a surface-mount bandpass filter from Mini-Circuits designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates with a center frequency of 138 MHz and provides a bandwidth of 75 MHz. The component features a 14-SMD module package and supports an RF input power of up to 0.5W. It functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and a storage temperature range of -55°C to 100°C. The device utilizes surface mount pin connections for board integration.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount design for compact board integration
• Shielded case construction for signal integrity
• Lumped LC technology implementation

Applications

• Harmonic rejection in RF circuits
• Transmitter and receiver signal filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise electrical parameters before integration. Confirm that the 14-SMD footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 0.5W maximum RF input power rating aligns with your system's signal levels to prevent component damage. Check RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 138 MHz center frequency with 75 MHz bandwidth is required. Consider the 14-SMD package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the -40°C to +85°C operating range against your environmental conditions. Compare the 0.5W power handling capability with your application's signal strength needs.
