LFCN-95+

Overview

The LFCN-95+ is a low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 95 MHz and features a characteristic impedance of 50Ω. The component utilizes LTCC technology and is housed in the FV1206 case style. It offers an 8.5W power handling capability and maintains temperature stability. The device is protected under US patent 6,943,646.

Feature Summary

• LTCC structure providing temperature stability
• High power handling capacity of 8.5W
• Compact surface-mount design

Applications

• Harmonic suppression
• VHF transmitter systems
• UHF receiver systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as electrical specifications are measured on the Mini-Circuits Characterization Test Board TB-LFCN-95+. Confirm the operating temperature range spans from -55°C to 100°C for your application environment. Ensure the FV1206 package dimensions align with your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a sharp cutoff near 95 MHz with high power tolerance. The 50Ω impedance matches standard RF transmission lines. Consider the LTCC construction for environments demanding thermal stability. Verify that the DC-to-95 MHz passband covers your signal requirements without introducing excessive insertion loss.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits ceramic filter family, which specializes in RF and microwave components. The LFCN series focuses on low-pass filtering solutions using advanced LTCC materials. These filters are engineered for reliability in demanding communication systems, offering consistent performance across wide temperature ranges.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the LFCN series or other Mini-Circuits low-pass filters with similar cutoff frequencies. Ensure any replacement maintains the 50Ω impedance and FV1206 footprint. Verify that alternative parts meet the 8.5W power handling requirement if high-power operation is critical.
