CLPFL-0100

Overview

The CLPFL-0100 is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for signal conditioning applications. It features a 7th-order Butterworth response and operates within a frequency range from DC to 100MHz. The component utilizes a 50-ohm impedance system and is housed in a rugged SMA connector configuration with female and male interfaces. It is engineered for use in test equipment and general laboratory environments, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides a 7th-order Butterworth filter response for effective signal conditioning
• Operates as a low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency up to 100MHz
• Constructed with a rugged SMA housing suitable for demanding environments

Applications

• Test equipment signal conditioning
• General laboratory use
• RF bandwidth filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender (female/male) requirements against your system interface before procurement. Confirm that the 50-ohm impedance matches your circuit design. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C aligns with your environmental conditions. Cross-reference the part number with official Crystek documentation to confirm current availability and specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp roll-off characteristic is required near the 100MHz cutoff. The 7th-order Butterworth design offers a balance between passband flatness and stopband attenuation. Consider the inline form factor and SMA connectivity for easy integration into existing RF test setups or lab instrumentation without requiring custom mounting solutions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the CLPFL series of low-pass filters from Crystek Corporation. The series includes various models with different cutoff frequencies, such as the CLPFL-0500 and CLPFL-1200, all sharing similar construction characteristics like the 7th-order Butterworth response and SMA packaging. This specific model targets lower frequency RF applications compared to higher-frequency variants in the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Crystek CLPFL series models if the cutoff frequency differs but the package remains compatible. Verify mechanical dimensions and connector gender compatibility when considering alternative brands or series.
