HFCW-9500+

Overview

The HFCW-9500+ is an LTCC high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning in microwave applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10,500 MHz to 20,000 MHz with a nominal cutoff frequency of 9.65 GHz. The component features a 50-ohm impedance and utilizes a JC0603C surface-mount package. It supports operation from -55°C to +125°C and offers low insertion loss across the passband.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust construction
• Provides effective signal filtering in the 10.5 GHz to 20 GHz range
• Designed for surface-mount integration with minimal footprint

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Mini-Circuits datasheet to ensure correct packaging options such as cut tape or reel quantities. Confirm that the JC0603C package dimensions align with your PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass characteristic is required above 9.65 GHz. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to +125°C temperature range. Verify compatibility with 50-ohm system impedance and check available S-parameter data for insertion loss specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HFCW series of ceramic filters from Mini-Circuits. These components are engineered for RF and microwave frequencies up to 86 GHz. The HFCW series specifically addresses needs for compact, high-performance filtering solutions using LTCC manufacturing processes.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits documentation for direct substitutes within the HFCW series. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 50-ohm impedance and compatible surface-mount package style.
