LFCG-2000+

Overview

The LFCG-2000+ is a low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, utilizing LTCC technology. It features a passband from DC to 2000 MHz and operates with a 50Ω impedance. The device provides 1.0 dB typical insertion loss within the passband. It is housed in an SMT package designated as GE0805C-2, corresponding to the 0805 (2012 Metric) case style. The component is RoHS3 compliant.

Feature Summary

• LTCC construction for reliable surface mount integration
• Low insertion loss of 1.0 dB in the passband
• RoHS3 compliant environmental classification

Applications

• Harmonic rejection
• Automatic meter reading
• VHF/UHF transmitters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the required RoHS3 compliance status matches your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the GE0805C-2 case style with your PCB layout guidelines to ensure mechanical compatibility before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff characteristic is required below 2000 MHz with minimal signal attenuation in the passband. The LTCC technology offers stability suitable for demanding RF environments. Ensure the design accommodates the 0805 footprint and 50Ω system impedance requirements for proper integration into the signal chain.

Part Context
