LFCV-2302+

Overview

The LFCV-2302+ is a miniature low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) surface-mount low-pass filter designed for RF applications. It provides a DC to 23 GHz passband with a cutoff frequency of 23.8 GHz. The component features a typical insertion loss of 1.8 dB and a stopband rejection of 40 dB. It operates at 50 ohms impedance and is housed in a compact 1210 (3225 Metric) package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes LTCC technology for high reliability and thermal stability
• Provides effective signal filtering with low insertion loss
• Offers significant stopband rejection to suppress unwanted frequencies
• Designed for surface-mount integration in compact circuits

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Harmonic suppression in microwave circuits
• Frequency selection in wireless infrastructure
• Signal integrity enhancement in test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise electrical tolerances and thermal specifications before finalizing design integration. Confirm that the 1210 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles recommended for LTCC components to maintain performance integrity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 23 GHz is required in a small form factor. Consider the 1.8 dB insertion loss impact on system noise figure. Evaluate the 40 dB stopband rejection against specific harmonic requirements. Ensure the 50 ohm system impedance aligns with the surrounding circuitry to minimize reflections.

Part Context

Mini-Circuits manufactures the LFCV series as part of its portfolio of RF and microwave passive components. These filters are engineered for high performance in demanding environments.
