HFCN-1600D+

Overview

The HFCN-1600D+ is a high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, utilizing low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. It operates within a frequency range of 1600 MHz to 5500 MHz, providing a bandwidth of 3900 MHz with a center frequency of 3.325 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and is designed for surface mount installation in a 4-SMD, no lead package. Electrical specifications are measured at 25°C on the Mini-Circuits Characterization Test Board TB-270.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) construction for robust performance
• Designed as a high-pass filter for signal conditioning applications
• Engineered for surface mount assembly using a compact SMD package

Applications

• RF signal filtering in microwave systems
• Signal conditioning in communication infrastructure
• High-frequency circuit integration requiring LTCC stability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D+ against official Mini-Circuits documentation to confirm package type and termination style. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm system impedance and validate operating temperature ranges against application requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass characteristic is required between 1.6 GHz and 5.5 GHz. Consider the LTCC material properties for thermal stability and the SMD form factor for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 3900 MHz bandwidth meets the system's spectral requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HFCN series of ceramic filters from Mini-Circuits, which covers ultra-wideband frequencies up to 56.2 GHz. The series includes various cutoff frequencies, with the HFCN-1600D+ specifically targeting the 1.6 GHz start point. It complements other RF components in the manufacturer's portfolio for complete signal chain solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic cross-references may not match the specific LTCC construction or electrical tolerances defined in the original datasheet.
