HFCN-9700+

Overview

The HFCN-9700+ is a high-pass ceramic filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It features a center frequency of 13.34 GHz and a cutoff frequency of 7.28 GHz. The component operates at an impedance of 50 Ohms. It utilizes low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for construction. The physical package is a 4-SMD, No Lead configuration with case style FV1206-4.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust signal filtering
• Designed as a high-pass filter to attenuate frequencies below the specified cutoff
• Constructed in a compact surface-mount package suitable for automated assembly

Applications

• RF front-end filtering in microwave communication systems
• Signal conditioning in high-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Harmonic suppression in upconverter assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the HFCN-9700+ to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal specifications before integration. Ensure that the PCB layout adheres strictly to the manufacturer's recommended footprint and grounding guidelines to maintain performance integrity at millimeter-wave frequencies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp high-pass response is required around the 7.28 GHz threshold. The LTCC construction offers stability in demanding environments. Consider the 4-SMD form factor for space-constrained designs requiring reliable surface-mount integration without leaded components.
