CER0813A

Overview

The CER0813A is a high-performance band pass ceramic filter manufactured by Tusonix, a subsidiary of CTS Electronic Components. Designed for surface mount applications, this component operates at a center frequency of 4 GHz (4000 MHz). It features a monoblock package with two PC pads and supports up to 2 Watts of power handling. The filter exhibits a maximum insertion loss of 14 dB within the 3950-4050 MHz range. It complies with RoHS3 standards and carries an EAR99 classification.

Feature Summary

• High-performance band pass filtering capability centered at 4 GHz
• Robust power handling capacity supporting up to 2 Watts
• Compact monoblock surface mount construction for efficient PCB integration

Applications

• Wireless communication systems operating in the 4 GHz spectrum
• RF signal conditioning modules requiring precise band pass characteristics
• Industrial equipment utilizing microwave frequency bands

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical tolerances against your design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the surface mount footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 regulations if required by your manufacturing standards. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the monoblock package during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select the CER0813A when a 4 GHz center frequency and 2 Watt power rating are necessary. Consider its 14 dB insertion loss limit for system budget calculations. The monoblock package suits space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management needs due to power handling capabilities. Compare performance metrics against alternative filters if tighter bandwidth or lower loss is required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CER series of ceramic filters produced by Tusonix. These filters are engineered for reliable RF performance in demanding environments. The series offers various center frequencies and bandwidths to suit different application needs. As part of CTS Electronic Components' portfolio, these parts adhere to strict quality control measures for consistent electrical characteristics across production batches.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any replacement maintains the 4 GHz center frequency and 2 Watt power rating. Ensure the new component fits the same monoblock surface mount footprint. Cross-reference insertion loss specifications to avoid signal degradation issues in the final circuit design.
