LFCV-2502+

Overview

The LFCV-2502+ is a miniature low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) low pass filter designed for RF applications. It provides a DC to 25 GHz passband with a 50 Ohm impedance. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 2.2 dB and a stopband rejection range of 40 dB to 50 dB. The component supports power handling from 0.5W to 8W and operates at temperatures up to +125 C. It utilizes SMD/SMT termination style for board mounting.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes LTCC technology for compact surface-mount packaging
• Provides high stopband rejection in the upper frequency range
• Supports significant RF power handling capabilities

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Wireless communication systems
• RF test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the LFCV-2502+ to confirm current performance curves and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with your PCB layout regarding the SMD/SMT footprint. Confirm that the thermal operating limits align with your system's environmental requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 25 GHz is required in a small form factor. The LTCC construction offers stability and reliability for high-frequency filtering needs. Consider the power handling limits relative to your signal levels to ensure safe operation within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

Mini-Circuits manufactures a broad portfolio of RF and microwave components, including filters, amplifiers, and mixers. The LFCV series represents their line of LTCC low pass filters, which are widely used in commercial and industrial projects requiring stable signal integrity across high frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits documentation for direct substitutes such as other LFCV models with different cutoff frequencies. Verify pinout and impedance matching when considering alternative manufacturers' LTCC filters.
