ECS-DCF-102

Overview

The ECS-DCF-102 is a dielectric ceramic monoblock bandpass filter manufactured by ECS Inc. Designed for signal conditioning applications, this component operates with a center frequency of 5697 MHz and supports a bandwidth ranging from 5490 MHz to 5850 MHz. It features a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and maintains an insertion loss of 2.5 dB. The device is housed in a 3-SMD, no-lead package and functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -30°C to 80°C.

Feature Summary

• Dielectric ceramic monoblock construction for stable RF performance
• SMD surface-mount package design for automated assembly
• Optimized for 50 Ohm system impedance matching

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring 5.8 GHz filtering
• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version against the manufacturer's official documentation before integration. Confirm that the 3-SMD no-lead package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure thermal management strategies accommodate the specified -30°C to 80°C operating range for your intended environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 5697 MHz is required for bandpass filtering. Consider the 360 MHz bandwidth relative to your signal spectrum needs. Evaluate the 2.5 dB insertion loss impact on overall system gain. Compare physical size constraints against available board space for the SMD package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ECS-DCF series of dielectric ceramic filters produced by ECS Inc. These components are engineered for high-frequency RF applications where compact size and consistent electrical characteristics are critical. The series utilizes ceramic materials to achieve sharp cutoff characteristics suitable for modern wireless standards.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other ECS-DCF series variants such as the ECS-DCF-101 if different frequency specifications are needed. Verify compatibility with alternative manufacturers offering similar 5.8 GHz ceramic filters, ensuring identical impedance and package dimensions.
