DC450K0000S028

Overview

The TGS DC450K0000S028 is a ceramic discriminator filter designed for AM radio frequency applications. It operates at a center frequency of 450 kHz with a bandwidth of 4 kHz. The component utilizes a surface-mount device (SMD) package featuring two pads. Physical dimensions are specified as 6.2 mm in length, 6.0 mm in width, and 3.1 mm in height, enclosed in a white case. The unit supports reflow soldering profiles up to a maximum temperature of 260 °C.

Feature Summary

• Discriminator function for AM signal processing
• Surface-mount construction for automated assembly
• Compact physical footprint suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• AM radio receiver circuits
• Intermediate frequency filtering in communication equipment
• Consumer audio electronics requiring 450 kHz discrimination

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to ensure correct tolerance and pin configuration. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required center frequency and bandwidth specifications for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current manufacturing standards. Ensure storage conditions maintain component integrity prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated ceramic discriminator is required for AM detection rather than a standard bandpass filter. Evaluate the SMD package size constraints against the available PCB real estate. Consider the thermal resistance during reflow processes to prevent mechanical stress on the ceramic body. Compare performance metrics such as insertion loss and shape factor against alternative discrete solutions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TGS ceramic filter family, which specializes in passive components for radio frequency and intermediate frequency stages. These filters are engineered to provide stable frequency response characteristics in compact forms. The series typically includes bandpass and discriminator variants tailored for broadcast and communication systems.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with any potential cross-references by matching electrical parameters and physical dimensions strictly.
