LFCN-9170+

Overview

The Mini-Circuits LFCN-9170+ is a low-pass filter utilizing LTCC technology, designed for high-frequency signal conditioning. It provides a passband from DC to 9170 MHz with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The component is housed in an FV1206-4 surface-mount package, ensuring compact integration into RF circuits. This filter supports applications requiring precise frequency control and signal integrity within the specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• LTCC construction for reliable high-frequency performance
• Compact surface-mount design for space-constrained PCBs
• 50 Ohm impedance matching for standard RF systems

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• High-frequency filtering
• Microwave circuit integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and parameter graphs directly from Mini-Circuits or authorized distributors before finalizing designs. Confirm that the FV1206-4 package dimensions and thermal characteristics align with your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance specification matches your system architecture to prevent signal reflection issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass filter with a cutoff near 9.17 GHz is required. Consider the LTCC technology benefits for stability and size. Compare against similar models like the LFCN-5500+ if lower frequency ranges are sufficient. Verify that the surface-mount form factor fits the assembly constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' LTCC low-pass filter series, which includes variants such as the LFCN-5500+. These components are engineered for consistent performance in RF environments. The LFCN-9170+ specifically targets higher frequency applications compared to its lower-cutoff counterparts within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

The LFCN-5500+ is a documented alternative within the same series but operates at a lower frequency range. Direct substitution requires verifying that the reduced cutoff frequency meets the application's spectral requirements. No other public substitute part numbers are confirmed.
