LFCN-2600D+

Overview

The LFCN-2600D+ is a surface-mount LTCC low-pass filter from Mini-Circuits, designed for RF signal conditioning. It operates with a cutoff frequency of 3.025 GHz and maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms. The component features an insertion loss of 1.2 dB and utilizes a compact FV1206 package (4-SMD, No Lead). It supports board mounting and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology for robust construction
• Provides effective high-frequency attenuation above the 3.025 GHz cutoff point
• Designed for direct surface-mount integration into PCB layouts

Applications

• RF front-end filtering in wireless communication systems
• Harmonic suppression in transmitter output stages
• Signal integrity management in microwave circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D+' against official Mini-Circuits documentation to confirm packaging configuration and compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required tape-and-reel specifications for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the part number with current datasheets to validate active status and lead time availability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact form factor is required for filters operating near 3 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance rating ensures compatibility with standard RF transmission lines. Consider the thermal operating range and insertion loss characteristics relative to system power handling requirements. Verify that the FV1206 footprint aligns with existing PCB design constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the LFCN series of ceramic low-pass filters manufactured by Mini-Circuits. The series focuses on providing reliable signal conditioning solutions using LTCC materials. These filters are engineered for applications requiring stable performance across varying environmental conditions while maintaining small physical dimensions suitable for modern electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic cross-references may not match the precise electrical characteristics or physical footprint of the original LTCC design.
