• Provides high rejection performance up to 50dB
• Designed for compact surface mount integration

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status before procurement, as manufacturing updates may occur. Confirm that the 0805 footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental requirements. Cross-reference the part number with official Mini-Circuits documentation to confirm current availability and packaging options.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a DC-to-2.6 GHz low-pass response is required in a minimal 0805 footprint. The LTCC construction offers stability suitable for demanding RF environments. Consider the 1.1 dB insertion loss impact on system gain. Verify impedance matching at 50 Ohms for optimal signal transmission in your specific circuit topology.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Circuits LFCG series, which specializes in miniature low-pass filters. The series is characterized by its use of LTCC technology to achieve small form factors without compromising performance. These filters are engineered for high reliability in commercial and industrial RF applications requiring precise frequency control.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for verified alternatives. Ensure any replacement maintains the 0805 package dimensions and 50 Ohm impedance. Verify that the substitute part meets or exceeds the 2.6 GHz cutoff frequency and insertion loss specifications.
