CLPFL-1600

Overview

The CLPFL-1600 is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by Crystek Corporation, designed for signal conditioning applications. It features a cutoff frequency of 1.6 GHz and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component utilizes SMA connectors (female and male) and maintains a 50 ohm impedance. It is constructed as an inline unit with a rugged housing, offering 7th order filtering characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Provides excellent out-of-band rejection for EMI/RFI suppression
• Constructed in a rugged housing for durability
• Designed for inline signal conditioning with SMA connections

Applications

• EMI/RFI suppression
• Power line filtering
• Signal conditioning in RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration required for your assembly, as the datasheet indicates availability with both female and male SMA connections. Confirm that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +85°C thermal range. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 ohm specification to maintain optimal performance and prevent signal reflection issues during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.6 GHz cutoff frequency is required for low-pass filtering applications. Consider the rugged housing design if mechanical durability is a priority. Verify compatibility with SMA interface standards and ensure the inline form factor fits the available space constraints in the target RF circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLPFL series of low-pass filters from Crystek Corporation. The series includes variants with different cutoff frequencies, such as the CLPFL-0800. These filters are generally characterized by their robust construction and high out-of-band rejection capabilities, making them suitable for demanding radio frequency environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other models within the CLPFL series that may offer different cutoff frequencies if the 1.6 GHz specification does not fully meet system requirements. Ensure any substitute maintains the same SMA connector type and 50 ohm impedance to guarantee mechanical and electrical compatibility.
