ECS-96SMF45A15-TR

Overview

The ECS-96SMF45A15-TR is a miniature surface-mount monolithic crystal filter manufactured by ECS Inc. It operates at a center frequency of 45 MHz with an impedance of 560 Ohms. The device features a two-pole design providing a bandwidth of 15 kHz and an insertion loss of 2 dB. It is housed in a 6-SMD, no-lead package measuring 7 x 5 x 1.35 mm. The component supports an operating temperature range from -30°C to 80°C.

Feature Summary

• Miniature surface-mount construction for compact circuit integration
• Two-pole monolithic crystal filter architecture
• Low insertion loss performance

Applications

• Intermediate frequency (IF) filtering in radio receivers
• Signal processing stages requiring narrowband selection
• Communication equipment channel filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the trailing TR suffix to confirm tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure the specified 45 MHz center frequency and 15 kHz bandwidth align with the target circuit requirements. Confirm that the 6-SMD no-lead package dimensions fit the designated PCB footprint. Validate that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 45 MHz center frequency is required for signal conditioning. The 560 Ohm impedance must match the source and load networks to minimize reflection. Consider the 2 dB insertion loss impact on overall system gain. The surface-mount form factor is suitable for automated assembly processes where space constraints limit component size.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ECS-96SMF series of miniature SMD monolithic crystal filters. These devices are designed to replace larger through-hole crystals in modern electronics. The series offers various center frequencies and bandwidth options within a standardized small outline package. They are commonly used in consumer electronics and industrial communication modules.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 45 MHz frequency, 15 kHz bandwidth, and 560 Ohm impedance. Verify pin compatibility for the 6-SMD no-lead package. Check if alternative manufacturers offer equivalent electrical characteristics and thermal ratings.
