CER0263C

Overview

The CER0263C is a ceramic bandpass filter manufactured by CTS Electronic Components under the Tusonix brand. It operates at a center frequency of 2.25 GHz with a bandwidth of 200 MHz, covering a range from 2.15 to 2.35 GHz. The device features an insertion loss of less than 2 dB and utilizes a surface-mount package measuring 6.8 mm x 4.8 mm x 2.4 mm. Constructed from a silver-plated ceramic block, it is designed for high-frequency signal filtering applications.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes a silver-plated ceramic block construction for durability and performance
• Designed as a surface-mount component for automated assembly processes
• Provides bandpass filtering capabilities in the microwave frequency range

Applications

• Microwave communication systems requiring signal isolation
• Wireless infrastructure equipment operating near 2.25 GHz
