BPF-F184+

Overview

The BPF-F184+ is a surface-mount lumped LC bandpass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 154.32 to 214.32 MHz, centered at 184 MHz. The component features a 50-ohm impedance and utilizes SMT technology in a shielded HP1156 package. It is designed for signal conditioning applications requiring broad bandwidth filtering.

Feature Summary

• Shielded surface-mount construction for electromagnetic interference protection
• Broadband passband coverage from 154.32 to 214.32 MHz
• Lumped LC design optimized for 50-ohm systems

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Frequency upconverter assemblies
• Microwave component integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the HP1156 case style matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure the supplier provides valid datasheets matching this part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broad bandpass response around 184 MHz is required. The shielded SMT package suits automated assembly processes. Consider the 50-ohm impedance match for system integration. Evaluate the physical dimensions of the HP1156 case against available board space constraints.

Part Context

This device belongs to Mini-Circuits' RF filter portfolio, which covers DC to 86 GHz. The BPF-F184+ represents their lumped LC technology line. It is distinct from distributed or ceramic filter variants. The product remains active in the manufacturer's catalog.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Consult Mini-Circuits directly for equivalent alternatives. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other bandpass filters without verifying electrical parameters.
