BPF24-801

Overview

The L-com BPF24-801 is an in-line bandpass filter designed for the 2.4 GHz ISM band, specifically targeting frequencies between 2401 and 2423 MHz with a center frequency of 2412 MHz. It features a 22 MHz bandwidth and N-Type connectors. The unit exhibits a nominal insertion loss of 2 dB and a maximum of 3 dB, with a ripple of 0.25 dB. Constructed from rugged aluminum, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-high Q 8-pole passive filter design for superior signal selectivity
• Rugged aluminum construction suitable for industrial grade environments
• Low insertion loss characteristics to minimize signal attenuation
• N-Type connector interface for reliable in-line integration

Applications

• 802.11 WLAN systems
• Industrial wireless communication networks
• Signal conditioning for 2.4 GHz RF equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix when ordering, as variants such as BPF24-801A exist within the product line. Confirm that the required connector type matches the N-Type specification documented for this model. Ensure environmental ratings meet the operational temperature requirements of the intended installation site before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise filtering within the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The 22 MHz bandwidth is optimized for specific channel allocations in wireless LAN environments. Consider the physical dimensions and mounting requirements associated with its in-line module form factor during system design.

Part Context

This component belongs to L-com's family of ultra-high Q bandpass filters. It is engineered to reduce interference and improve performance in crowded RF spectrums. The series typically utilizes multi-pole designs to achieve steep roll-off characteristics while maintaining low insertion loss across the passband.

Replacement Considerations

The BPF24-801A is a documented variant within the same product family. Verify if the 'A' suffix denotes any functional or packaging differences relative to the base BPF24-801 model before substituting.
