CER0263B

Overview

The CER0263B is a band pass ceramic filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. This component operates at a center frequency of 2.593 GHz and utilizes an SMD/SMT termination style. The physical package dimensions are specified as 6.8 mm x 4.1 mm x 2.4 mm. It is designed for signal conditioning applications within the passive components category. The device functions as a monoblock filter with a two-pad configuration.

Feature Summary

• Provides band pass filtering characteristics for high-frequency signal conditioning
• Utilizes a monoblock ceramic construction for structural integrity
• Designed for surface mount technology (SMD/SMT) integration

Applications

• High-frequency RF signal processing circuits
• Wireless communication system front-ends
• Signal conditioning modules requiring specific band pass characteristics

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact center frequency specification against the official datasheet prior to procurement, as conflicting data sources indicate variations between 195 MHz and 2.593 GHz. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor, as available records show inconsistent reporting regarding lead-free certification. Ensure the selected inventory source provides valid documentation matching the required SMD package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on its specific 2.593 GHz operating frequency requirement and SMD form factor. Evaluate the physical footprint constraints to ensure compatibility with the 6.8 mm x 4.1 mm x 2.4 mm package size. Consider the monoblock design for applications requiring robust ceramic filter performance in compact layouts. Validate that the termination style aligns with the target PCB assembly process.

Part Context

The CER0263B belongs to the ceramic filters subcategory under passive components produced by Tusonix. It serves as a specialized signal conditioning element within the broader portfolio of CTS Electronic Components. The part is identified by its specific band pass functionality and high-frequency operation capabilities, distinguishing it from general-purpose filters in the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative ceramic filters from the same manufacturer series if direct substitution is required.
