HFCN-2502+

Overview

The HFCN-2502+ is a miniature low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) high pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a passband frequency range of 25 to 57 GHz. Typical electrical parameters include an insertion loss of 1.8 dB, a return loss of 13 dB, and stop band rejection of 17 dB. The component supports a power handling capacity of 1W. It utilizes surface mount technology in the FV1206-12 case style.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for compact SMD packaging
• Provides high pass filtering functionality with defined passband characteristics
• Designed for stable performance in RF signal conditioning applications

Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring high frequency filtering
• RF test equipment signal conditioning
• Industrial measurement and control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update specifications over time. Confirm that the FV1206-12 package dimensions align with your PCB layout constraints. Ensure your design accounts for the 1W power handling limit and typical 1.8 dB insertion loss in your link budget calculations before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high pass filter is required for frequencies starting at 25 GHz. The LTCC construction offers low temperature drift compared to other technologies. Consider the 1.8 dB insertion loss impact on system gain. Verify compatibility with standard 50 ohm impedance environments typical in RF designs.
