BPGE-542R+

Overview

The BPGE-542R+ is a surface-mount LTCC bandpass filter designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 4900 MHz to 5920 MHz, providing a center frequency of 5.4 GHz and a bandwidth of 1.02 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes a 4-SMD, No Lead (0805) package. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 1.9 dB. This device is compliant with RoHS and REACH standards, ensuring suitability for modern electronic manufacturing requirements.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for compact surface-mount integration
• Provides precise signal conditioning within the 4.9 GHz to 5.92 GHz frequency spectrum
• Designed for high-reliability RF filtering in microwave applications

Applications

• Wireless communication systems operating in the 5 GHz band
• RF front-end modules requiring bandpass filtering
• Microwave circuit design for signal integrity maintenance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update electrical characteristics or mechanical drawings over time. Confirm that the 0805 footprint matches your PCB layout guidelines. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations is required for your target market. Cross-reference the part number BPGE-542R+ with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Check for any associated evaluation boards if testing is needed prior to production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 5.4 GHz is required with a 1.02 GHz bandwidth. The 50 Ohm impedance ensures compatibility with standard RF transmission lines. Consider the 1.9 dB insertion loss when calculating system link budgets. The SMT package facilitates automated assembly processes. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the LTCC construction and expected power levels in the application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Circuits BPGE series of LTCC bandpass filters. These filters are engineered for use in RF and IF circuits up to 86 GHz. The BPGE series offers various center frequencies and bandwidths to suit different wireless standards. The 'R+' suffix typically indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free termination, aligning with environmental directives for electronic components manufactured by Mini-Circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits documentation for direct substitutes. Other parts in the BPGE series with similar frequency ranges may serve as alternatives if bandwidth or insertion loss tolerances differ. Verify package compatibility before swapping components. No third-party cross-references are confirmed without explicit manufacturer data.
