BPF-C495+

Overview

The BPF-C495+ is a narrow bandpass filter designed for RF applications, operating within a frequency range of 470 MHz to 520 MHz. It features a center frequency of 495 MHz and a bandwidth of 50,000 kHz. The component utilizes surface mount technology (SMT) and is housed in a metal shielded package with dimensions of 0.87 inches by 0.80 inches by 0.25 inches. It is engineered for 50-ohm systems and offers an insertion loss of 3 dB.

Feature Summary

• Narrow bandpass filtering capability centered at 495 MHz
• Metal shielded package construction for signal integrity
• Surface mount technology fabrication for automated assembly

Applications

• RF signal chain filtering
• Wireless communication system integration
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision status and RoHS compliance documentation prior to procurement. Confirm that the 50-ohm impedance requirement aligns with the target circuit design. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow profiles during manufacturing integration. Cross-reference the part number with official Mini-Circuits catalogs to confirm current availability and lead times.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 495 MHz is required with a 50 MHz bandwidth. The 3 dB insertion loss specification should be evaluated against system power budget constraints. The physical dimensions of the metal shielded package must fit within the available PCB real estate. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the final application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Circuits BPF series of passive RF filters. It is distinct from other models in the lineup by its specific 470-520 MHz passband and 495 MHz center frequency. The product is manufactured using SMT processes and is available in a standardized metal shielded case style suitable for high-volume production environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains the 470-520 MHz frequency range and 50-ohm impedance. Ensure mechanical footprint compatibility if direct pin-to-pin replacement is required.
