HFCW-1132+

Overview

The HFCW-1132+ is a surface-mount LTCC high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 13,000 to 20,000 MHz (13–20 GHz). The component features a cutoff frequency of 11.3 GHz and maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms. It utilizes the JC0603C case style, with physical dimensions of 1.60mm x 0.80mm x 0.61mm. The device is designed for signal conditioning in microwave applications.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for compact surface-mount integration.
• Provides high-pass filtering characteristics with a defined cutoff at 11.3 GHz.
• Engineered for operation within the 13–20 GHz passband range.

Applications

• Microwave signal conditioning
• RF front-end filtering
• Wireless communication systems operating in C-band or higher

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and electrical test data provided by authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the JC0603C package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance matches your system design. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate thermal performance against your operational environment limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass response is required above 11.3 GHz in a constrained space. The 0603 metric footprint suits dense surface-mount layouts. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for standard RF transmission lines. Evaluate insertion loss and rejection specifications from the official datasheet for your specific frequency band needs.
