HFCN-1320+

Overview

The HFCN-1320+ is an LTCC high-pass filter designed for RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 1400 to 5000 MHz, with a center frequency of 3.2 GHz and a cutoff frequency of 3.6 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes an FV1206 surface-mount package. Electrical specifications are measured at +25°C on the Mini-Circuits characterization test board TB-HFCN-1320+. The device supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for compact integration
• Provides high-pass filtering functionality in a surface-mount form factor
• Designed for stable performance across specified industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Microwave communication systems
• S-band upconverter designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version when sourcing, as documentation may list slightly varying frequency ranges such as 1700 to 5000 MHz or 1400 to 5000 MHz. Confirm that the FV1206 package matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with the TB-HFCN-1320+ evaluation board if testing is required prior to final implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-pass filtering between 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The LTCC construction offers reliability in harsh environments. Consider the FV1206 footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify impedance matching at 50 Ohms for system integration. Review thermal specifications to ensure operation within the -55°C to +85°C range.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' line of ceramic filters and LTCC components. It is distinct from the VHF-1320+, which covers a different frequency band of 1700 to 3800 MHz. The HFCN-1320+ is specifically engineered for higher frequency operations extending up to 5 GHz, providing broader bandwidth coverage compared to lower-frequency alternatives in the same series.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult official Mini-Circuits resources for direct replacements.
