ECS-DCF-104

Overview

The ECS-DCF-104 is a surface-mount dielectric ceramic bandpass filter designed for RF applications. It operates with a center frequency of 5245 MHz and covers a frequency range from 5150 MHz to 5340 MHz, providing a bandwidth of 190 MHz. The component features an insertion loss of 2.5 dB and is rated for an operating temperature range of -30°C to 80°C. It utilizes a 3-SMD, no-lead package with dimensions of 8.60mm x 5.00mm x 3.00mm.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for automated assembly
• Dielectric ceramic monoblock technology
• Bandpass filtering capability

Applications

• RF design applications requiring signal conditioning
• Wireless communication systems operating in the 5 GHz band
• Equipment utilizing the 5150-5340 MHz frequency range

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant (tape and reel or cut tape) required for your production line before ordering. Confirm that the 5245 MHz center frequency aligns with your system specifications. Ensure compatibility with the 3-SMD no-lead footprint dimensions of 8.60mm by 5.00mm during PCB layout. Check thermal requirements against the -30°C to 80°C operating range.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, surface-mount solution is needed for filtering signals within the 5150-5340 MHz range. The 2.5 dB insertion loss should be evaluated against system link budget requirements. Consider the physical size constraints relative to the 8.60mm length and 3.00mm height. Verify that the dielectric ceramic construction meets environmental durability needs for the intended application environment.
