CER0242A

Overview

The CER0242A is a ceramic bandpass filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. Designed for the 1.7475 GHz frequency band, this component serves as a specialized passive filter within the broader category of ceramic filters. The device is currently listed with an active lifecycle status, indicating its availability for integration into electronic systems requiring precise signal filtering at this specific intermediate frequency.

Feature Summary

• Bandpass filtering capability centered at 1.7475 GHz
• Ceramic construction for stable RF performance
• Surface-mount compatible design

Applications

• RF communication systems operating in the 1.7475 GHz band
• Wireless infrastructure signal conditioning
• Intermediate frequency filtering in transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify current lifecycle status and RoHS compliance directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as public records indicate conflicting information regarding regulatory status and stock availability. Confirm package type and tape specifications before ordering to ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-frequency ceramic bandpass filter is required for the 1.7475 GHz range. Ensure the application environment supports surface-mount installation and that the specific insertion loss and bandwidth characteristics meet the system's RF requirements without needing adjustable tuning elements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ceramic filter family produced by Tusonix/CTS. It is distinct from EMI feedthrough filters like the 4202-004 series, focusing instead on narrowband RF signal selection rather than power line noise suppression. It complements other discrete ceramic filters in the portfolio designed for specific microwave and RF applications.
