LFCN-2400+

Overview

The LFCN-2400+ is a ceramic low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for RF applications up to 2.8 GHz. It features an LTCC structure housed in an FV1206 surface-mount package. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms with a cutoff frequency of 2400 MHz. It offers high power handling capability of 9W and exhibits temperature stability suitable for VHF/UHF transmitter and receiver environments.

Feature Summary

• LTCC construction providing thermal stability
• High power handling capacity
• Compact surface-mount form factor

Applications

• Harmonic suppression
• VHF transmitter filtering
• UHF receiver input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., D+) against the datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging or lead-free compliance. Ensure the ordering code matches the required termination style. Confirm that the FV1206 footprint aligns with the PCB layout guidelines provided in the official documentation before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-power ceramic low-pass filter is required for frequencies up to 2.8 GHz. The LTCC technology ensures reliability in varying thermal conditions. Verify that the 50 Ohm impedance matches the system design and that the physical dimensions fit the available board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LFCN series of ceramic filters from Mini-Circuits, which utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic technology. These components are engineered for robust performance in RF signal processing, offering a balance between size reduction and power handling capabilities compared to traditional bulk ceramic filters.

Replacement Considerations

Check for LFCN-2400D+ as a potential variant with different packaging. Verify electrical specifications against other Mini-Circuits LTCC low-pass filters if sourcing alternatives.
