CER0604A

Overview

The CER0604A is a ceramic bandpass filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. Designed for radio frequency applications, this component operates at a center frequency of 860.5 MHz with a bandwidth of 100 MHz. It features a monoblock package suitable for surface mount installation, measuring 0.177 inches (4.50 mm) in maximum height. The device exhibits an insertion loss of 1 dB and is classified as a passband filter. It is currently active in production and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Provides selective signal transmission within the specified 860.5 MHz center frequency range
• Utilizes a compact monoblock construction for reliable surface mount integration
• Engineered to maintain low insertion loss for efficient RF signal integrity

Applications

• RF communication systems requiring bandpass filtering at 860.5 MHz
• Wireless infrastructure components operating in the specified frequency band
• Electronic assemblies needing compact ceramic filtering solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number CER0604A against manufacturer documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the monoblock surface mount package dimensions align with PCB layout constraints. Check for RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure storage conditions respect the moisture sensitivity level classification to prevent damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 860.5 MHz is required for RF filtering. Consider the 100 MHz bandwidth specification to ensure it matches the signal spectrum needs. Evaluate the surface mount monoblock package for space-constrained designs. Compare insertion loss characteristics against other available filters to meet signal attenuation requirements.
