CER0312A

Overview

The CER0312A is a bandpass ceramic filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. It operates with a center frequency of 3.55 GHz and features a bandwidth of 500 MHz. The component utilizes a monoblock construction with a 2 PC pad configuration for surface mount installation. Its physical height has a maximum dimension of 0.177 inches (4.50 mm). This device is designed for signal conditioning applications within the specified microwave frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Bandpass filtering capability centered at 3.55 GHz
• Monoblock ceramic construction for structural integrity
• Surface mount package design with two contact pads

Applications

• Wireless communication infrastructure equipment
• Microwave signal processing systems
• RF front-end modules requiring specific bandpass characteristics

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet specifications directly from the manufacturer or authorized distributor before integration. Confirm that the 3.55 GHz center frequency and 500 MHz bandwidth align with your system requirements. Ensure compatibility with surface mount assembly processes and check for any specific handling instructions related to the ceramic monoblock construction.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 3.55 GHz is required. The 500 MHz bandwidth defines the passband width. Consider the monoblock form factor for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify that the surface mount package type matches your manufacturing capabilities and board design constraints.
