HFCN-1500D+

Overview

The HFCN-1500D+ is a high-pass ceramic filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It utilizes low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology and operates within an ultra-wideband frequency range of 29 GHz to 56.2 GHz. The component features a center high-pass characteristic with a cutoff around 3.55 GHz and is designed for 50 Ohm systems. It is housed in a compact 4-SMD, no lead package suitable for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust performance.
• Designed as a high-pass filter with a center frequency of approximately 3.55 GHz.
• Operates within an ultra-wideband frequency range extending up to 56.2 GHz.
• Features a compact 4-SMD no-lead package for surface mount integration.

Applications

• RF signal filtering in microwave communication systems
• Harmonic suppression in wideband RF circuits
• Signal conditioning in ultra-wideband applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as electrical specifications are measured on Mini-Circuits Characterization Test Board TB-270 at 25°C. Confirm that the DC resistance to ground meets the minimum requirement of 100 Mohms. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm system impedance and validate that the 4-SMD no-lead package fits the target PCB footprint before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-pass filtering in the ultra-wideband spectrum up to 56.2 GHz. The LTCC construction offers reliability for surface mount processes. Consider the 3.55 GHz center frequency and 50 Ohm impedance match. Verify thermal management requirements and ensure the PCB layout supports the small form factor of the 4-SMD package for optimal RF performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HFCN series of high-pass filters from Mini-Circuits, which are designed for RF, IF, and microwave applications. The series leverages LTCC technology to provide compact solutions for frequencies ranging from DC to 86 GHz. The HFCN-1500D+ specifically targets high-frequency filtering needs within the broader portfolio of Mini-Circuits' passive components.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-referencing should be limited to components explicitly listed as compatible or interchangeable in manufacturer datasheets. Do not assume functional equivalence based on generic specifications alone.
