CER0246C

Overview

The CER0246C is a surface-mount ceramic bandpass filter with a center frequency of 1.7475 GHz and a bandwidth of 75 MHz. It features an insertion loss of 3 dB and utilizes a monoblock package with two PC pads for mounting.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction using silver coated ceramic technology
• Designed specifically for DCS repeater and base station applications

Applications

• DCS repeater systems
• Base station implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status, as information varies across sources. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required termination finish. Confirm the active lifecycle status with the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans to avoid obsolescence risks.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.7475 GHz center frequency is required for DCS applications. The 75 MHz bandwidth suits narrowband filtering needs. Verify that the surface mount monoblock package fits the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements of the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CTS Monoblock LR Series filters, which utilize single-layer and multi-layer ceramic technologies. These components are engineered to meet demanding EMC requirements in wireless communication infrastructure environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the CTS Tusonix Monoblock series. Verify electrical parameters such as center frequency and bandwidth match exactly. Ensure mechanical dimensions and pin configurations are compatible with existing footprints.
