HFCN-672+

Overview

The HFCN-672+ is an LTCC high pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It features a wide passband ranging from 6700 to 13000 MHz. The component provides 2.0 dB of passband insertion loss and offers 27 dB of stopband attenuation. It utilizes a 6-SMD, No Lead package with the FV1206-1 case style.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust construction
• Provides a wide operational passband covering 6700 to 13000 MHz
• Designed for low signal degradation within the specified frequency range

Applications

• S-band upconverter assemblies
• RF signal filtering in microwave circuits
• High-frequency communication systems requiring bandpass isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update specifications. Confirm the package type matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with your operating temperature range. Check for any recent design changes that might affect performance metrics. Validate supply chain authenticity through authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass response is required between 6.7 GHz and 13 GHz. Consider the 2.0 dB insertion loss impact on system noise figure. Evaluate the LTCC construction for environmental stability needs. Compare stopband rejection levels against adjacent channel interference requirements. Assess physical size constraints relative to the FV1206-1 package dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ceramic filter portfolio, which includes various fixed-tuned filters for RF and microwave applications. The HFCN series specifically targets high-frequency bands using LTCC technology. These components are designed for integration into complex RF front-ends where precise frequency selection is critical for signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as cutoff frequency and insertion loss. Verify package compatibility before replacing. Do not assume functional equivalence without checking detailed specifications.
