L10.7 MHY

Overview

The L10.7 MHY is a ceramic bandpass filter manufactured by ECS Inc., designed for operation at a center frequency of 10.7 MHz. This component utilizes through-hole mounting technology, making it suitable for standard printed circuit board assembly processes. As a passive frequency-selective device, it provides signal filtering capabilities within electronic circuits requiring precise frequency discrimination at the intermediate frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Through-hole package configuration for reliable PCB integration
• Ceramic construction for stable frequency performance
• Designed for 10.7 MHz center frequency applications

Applications

• FM radio receiver front-end filtering
• Intermediate frequency (IF) stage signal processing
• Communication equipment channel selection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MHY' to ensure correct lead frame and termination specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's current material declaration sheet. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design requirements. Check for any updated pinout or mechanical dimension changes compared to legacy versions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10.7 MHz ceramic filter with through-hole mounting is required. Consider the physical size constraints of the PCB layout against the component's footprint. Evaluate the insertion loss and bandwidth requirements against the application's signal integrity needs. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the final product.

Part Context

This part belongs to ECS Inc.'s line of ceramic filters, which are widely used in consumer electronics and communication devices. The L10.7 series specifically targets the FM broadcast band intermediate frequency. These components are known for their compact size and cost-effectiveness compared to larger LC filters.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other manufacturers' 10.7 MHz ceramic filters with identical pinouts and mechanical dimensions. Verify electrical parameters such as bandwidth and attenuation before substitution. Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for approved alternative part numbers.
