LP0402N3500ANTR

Overview

The LP0402N3500ANTR is a thin film RF low-pass filter manufactured by American Technical Ceramics. It features a center frequency of 3.5 GHz and a bandwidth of 200 MHz. The component operates within an impedance of 50 Ohms and utilizes SMD/SMT termination for board mounting. It is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 metric) package, measuring 1.00mm x 0.58mm. The device supports a minimum operating temperature of -40°C and a maximum of +85°C. It is RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction for stable RF performance
• Low-pass filtering capability at 3.5 GHz
• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• Wireless communication systems
• Microwave applications requiring harmonic suppression

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as KYOCERA AVX also lists this part number in their catalog. Confirm that the specific unit received matches the American Technical Ceramics specification sheet regarding dimensions and electrical characteristics. Ensure the RoHS compliance status aligns with project requirements before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.5 GHz cutoff frequency is required in a minimal 0402 footprint. The 50 Ohm impedance rating suits standard RF transmission lines. Consider the thermal range of -40°C to +85°C for environmental suitability. Verify compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment due to the small package size.

Part Context

This component belongs to the family of thin film RF filters designed for high-frequency signal integrity. It serves as a passive element for attenuating frequencies above the specified passband. The 0402 form factor allows for dense PCB layouts in modern electronic devices where space is constrained.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with LP0402N5200ANTR for different frequency specifications. Check KYOCERA AVX equivalents if supply chain diversification is needed, ensuring identical electrical parameters are maintained.
