L10.7 MS2

Overview

The L10.7 MS2 is a ceramic band-pass filter manufactured by ECS Inc., designed for operation at the standard 10.7 MHz intermediate frequency. This component belongs to the L10.7 series of passive frequency-selective devices, typically utilized in radio frequency signal processing applications where precise frequency discrimination is required. The device is constructed using ceramic materials to provide stable filtering characteristics within its designated passband.

Feature Summary

• Provides selective attenuation of frequencies outside the 10.7 MHz center point
• Utilizes ceramic construction for reliable RF signal filtering
• Designed as a passive component for intermediate frequency stages

Applications

• Intermediate frequency filtering in AM/FM radio receivers
• Signal processing in communication equipment requiring 10.7 MHz selectivity
• RF front-end modules in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (MS2) against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal requirements. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10.7 MHz ceramic filter is specified for cost-effective IF stage design. Consider package type and mounting style relative to assembly methods. Evaluate insertion loss and bandwidth requirements against system sensitivity needs. Compare against alternative manufacturers' equivalents only if electrical parameters match exactly.

Part Context

ECS Inc. produces a range of ceramic filters under the L10.7 designation, including variants like L10.7 MS3 and L10.7 MJ. These parts share the same nominal center frequency but may differ in physical size, terminal configuration, or specific electrical tolerances. The MS2 variant represents one specific configuration within this broader family of frequency-selective components.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify exact electrical and mechanical compatibility before substituting with generic 10.7 MHz ceramic filters from other manufacturers.
