CLPFL-0200

Overview

The CLPFL-0200 is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for signal conditioning applications. It features a cutoff frequency of 200 MHz and operates with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The component utilizes SMA connectors for inline integration into coaxial transmission lines. It is housed in a rugged enclosure suitable for demanding environments. The device functions to selectively attenuate frequencies above the cutoff point while passing lower frequency components, thereby reducing harmonic distortion and noise in signal paths.

Feature Summary

• Provides excellent out-of-band rejection to suppress unwanted high-frequency signals
• Designed for inline integration within standard 50-ohm coaxial systems
• Constructed with a rugged housing to ensure mechanical durability

Applications

• Test equipment signal conditioning
• General laboratory use
• Signal source harmonic reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required connector gender matches the specific system interface requirements, as the product line includes both female and male SMA options. Confirm the operating environment temperature range aligns with the specified limits. Ensure the 50-ohm impedance specification is compatible with the existing transmission line architecture to prevent signal reflection issues during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 200 MHz low-pass characteristic is required for signal purification. Consider the physical dimensions and inline form factor for space-constrained layouts. Evaluate the need for ruggedized housing if the deployment involves vibration or harsh conditions. Compare against other series members like the CLPFL-2000 if higher frequency bandwidth is necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Crystek CLPFL series of low-pass filters. The series offers various cutoff frequencies and connector types to suit different RF applications. These filters are engineered to improve signal integrity by removing out-of-band interference. The CLPFL-0200 specifically targets applications requiring attenuation above 200 MHz.

Replacement Considerations

The CLPFL-0021-BNC serves as an alternative within the same family but utilizes BNC connectors instead of SMA. Verify connector compatibility before substitution. Other series members offer different cutoff frequencies; ensure the replacement maintains the required 200 MHz bandwidth specification.
