HFCN-1300+

Overview

The HFCN-1300+ is a low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 1400 to 5000 MHz, with a specified cutoff frequency of 1300 MHz. The device features a stop band from 690 to 930 MHz and utilizes a 7-section design for signal filtering. It is housed in an FV1206 surface-mount package and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of -55°C to ensure reliability across diverse environmental conditions.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust performance
• Features a compact 7-section internal design optimized for high-pass filtering applications
• Utilizes an FV1206 surface-mount package for efficient integration into PCB layouts

Applications

• Space qualified RF systems requiring reliable filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as specifications are measured on Mini-Circuits Characterization Test Board TB-270 at +25°C. Confirm that the required variant matches the intended frequency range and package style. Ensure compatibility with the target impedance and operating temperature limits defined in the official documentation before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a high-pass response between 1400 and 5000 MHz. The LTCC construction offers durability suitable for demanding environments. Consider the FV1206 footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify that the stop band attenuation meets system requirements within the 690 to 930 MHz range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HFCN series of ceramic high-pass filters from Mini-Circuits. These components are designed for ultra-wideband operations and are available in various cutoff frequencies. The HFCN-1300+ specifically targets the 1.4 GHz to 5 GHz spectrum, providing a specialized solution for filtering lower-frequency noise while passing higher signals.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the HFCN series or other Mini-Circuits LTCC filter lines. Ensure any replacement matches the 1400-5000 MHz range and FV1206 package dimensions. Verify electrical equivalence regarding cutoff and stop band specifications.
