HFCU-1382+

Overview

The Mini-Circuits HFCU-1382+ is a miniature low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) high pass filter designed for RF and microwave applications. It features a passband from 14.3 GHz to 29 GHz with a typical insertion loss of 2.4 dB. The component offers good rejection of 53 dB and return loss of 14 dB. It utilizes an 1812 surface mount footprint and supports power handling up to 7 watts.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for compact form factor
• Provides high frequency signal filtering with defined passband characteristics
• Designed for surface mount integration in space-constrained circuits

Applications

• RF front-end modules requiring high pass filtering
• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update specifications or pin configurations over time. Confirm that the 1812 package dimensions align with your PCB layout constraints. Ensure that the 7-watt power handling capability meets your system's peak power requirements without derating issues. Check for any environmental qualification data if operating in extreme conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high pass filter is required above 14 GHz with moderate insertion loss tolerance. The LTCC construction suits applications needing robustness and small size. Consider the 1812 footprint for standard SMT assembly processes. Evaluate the 53 dB rejection against your system's interference requirements to ensure adequate out-of-band suppression.
