BPJC-252R+

Overview

The BPJC-252R+ is a surface-mount LTCC bandpass filter designed for radio frequency applications. It operates with a center frequency of 2.45 GHz and provides a bandwidth of 100 MHz, covering the 2400 to 2500 MHz range. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and exhibits an insertion loss of 2.3 dB. It is housed in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) package, specifically identified as case style JC0603C-1, suitable for space-constrained circuit designs.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust signal conditioning
• Provides precise bandpass filtering within the 2400 to 2500 MHz frequency range
• Designed for surface mount assembly in standard 0603 footprints

Applications

• Wireless communication systems operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band
• RF signal conditioning in compact electronic devices
• Filtering applications requiring 50 Ohm system integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as Mini-Circuits may update electrical characteristics or mechanical drawings over time. Confirm that the required insertion loss and bandwidth specifications align with your design constraints before finalizing procurement. Ensure compatibility with the 0603 soldering profile during assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass response centered at 2.45 GHz is required in a minimal footprint. The 2.3 dB insertion loss represents a moderate trade-off between size and performance. Consider alternative packages if higher power handling or stricter attenuation requirements exist outside the specified passband.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' series of LTCC bandpass filters, which are engineered for high reliability and consistent performance in RF environments. The 'JC' designation typically refers to the specific ceramic substrate construction method used by the manufacturer for these miniature components.

Replacement Considerations

The BFCG-252+ is a related LTCC bandpass filter from Mini-Circuits with similar frequency coverage but different electrical characteristics, such as lower insertion loss. Verify pinout and mechanical dimensions before substituting.
