HFCN-1150+

Overview

The HFCN-1150+ is an LTCC high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 1220 MHz and a passband extending to 4500 MHz. It features a typical insertion loss of 2.0 dB within the passband. The component utilizes a 12-layer construction for miniature size and repeatability, housed in a 4-SMD, no-lead package measuring 3.2mm x 1.6mm.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology with 12 layers for structural integrity
• Designed for ultra-wideband operation from DC up to 56.2 GHz
• Provides high repeatability and miniature form factor

Applications

• RF signal filtering in communication systems
• Microwave circuit integration
• S-band upconverter assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the HFCN-1150+ to confirm exact electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint, which is a 4-SMD no-lead package. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for any updates regarding material composition or manufacturing changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact high-pass filter is required for frequencies above 1220 MHz. The LTCC construction offers advantages in thermal stability and size reduction compared to traditional ceramic filters. Consider the 2.0 dB typical insertion loss when designing for low-loss signal paths.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits HFCN series of LTCC high-pass filters. These components are engineered for applications requiring small size and high performance in RF and microwave circuits. The series supports a wide frequency range, making it suitable for various modern communication standards.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the HFCN series that match the 1220 MHz cutoff frequency. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 4-SMD no-lead package dimensions and 50 Ohm impedance to ensure seamless integration without PCB redesign.
