HFCN-4400+

Overview

The HFCN-4400+ is a high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for RF and microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 5000 to 10100 MHz with a center frequency of 7.55 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology. It is housed in an FV1206-1 case style, measuring 3.2 mm in length and 1.6 mm in depth, with six terminals in a surface-mount, no-lead package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes LTCC technology for robust construction
• Designed for high-pass filtering applications
• Surface-mount package for automated assembly

Applications

• RF signal processing
• Microwave circuit design
• Communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and revision history before procurement to ensure compatibility with current design requirements. Confirm that the FV1206-1 package dimensions align with your PCB land pattern specifications. Ensure that the operating temperature range meets your environmental constraints. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the ceramic substrate. Validate that the 50 Ohm impedance matches your system interface.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass filter is required between 5000 and 10100 MHz. Consider the LTCC construction for stability in varying conditions. Evaluate the 6-terminal SMD package against available board space. Compare performance metrics such as insertion loss and rejection characteristics against alternative filters if stricter specifications are needed. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance is suitable for the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' HFCN series of high-pass filters. The series offers various cutoff frequencies using LTCC technology. The HFCN-4400+ specifically targets the 5-10 GHz range. It is distinct from low-pass variants like the LFCN-4400+. The '+' suffix indicates lead-free compliance.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical cutoff frequencies and impedance. Verify package compatibility for existing designs. Consider the MINI-HFCN-4400+ variant if different mounting options are required. Ensure electrical performance matches or exceeds original specifications.
