HFCN-1080+

Overview

The HFCN-1080+ is an LTCC high-pass filter designed for RF applications. It features a passband from 1140 MHz to 4240 MHz with a typical insertion loss of 2.0 dB. The component operates at a center frequency of 2.69 GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. Constructed using 12-layer LTCC technology, it ensures miniature dimensions of 3.2mm x 1.6mm and high repeatability.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with 12 layers of LTCC material to achieve miniature size and high repeatability
• Designed as a high-pass filter with a defined passband range
• Features low insertion loss characteristics for efficient signal transmission

Applications

• S-band upconverter assemblies
• RF and microwave circuit filtering
• Satellite communications systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure correct specifications. Confirm that the LTCC construction and layer count match project requirements. Check for any updated datasheets regarding electrical performance limits before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact high-pass filter is required for S-band frequencies. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF systems. Consider the 3.2mm x 1.6mm footprint for space-constrained designs requiring high repeatability in mass production.

Part Context

This component belongs to Mini-Circuits' LTCC ceramic filter series. These filters utilize thick-film technology on low-temperature co-fired ceramic substrates. The series offers various cutoff frequencies while maintaining small form factors suitable for modern electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 50 Ohm impedance and LTCC construction method to ensure interface compatibility.
