HFCN-3100D+

Overview

The HFCN-3100D+ 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 device features a center frequency of 6.65 GHz with a cutoff range of 3400 MHz to 9900 MHz. It is designed for 50 Ohm impedance systems and is housed in a compact SMD package without leads, specifically the FV1206-1 case style.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against official Mini-Circuits documentation before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout dimensions and soldering profiles. Confirm that the component meets all required electrical specifications for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass filter is required for frequencies above 3.4 GHz up to 9.9 GHz. Consider the LTCC construction for stability and the SMD form factor for space-constrained designs. Validate impedance matching and insertion loss requirements against the datasheet specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits HFCN series of high-pass filters. These components are engineered for applications requiring precise frequency discrimination in the microwave and millimeter-wave ranges. The series offers various cutoff frequencies to suit different system bandwidths.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic equivalents may not match the LTCC construction or ultra-wideband performance characteristics.
