LP1206A0700ASTR

Overview

The LP1206A0700ASTR is a thin film low-pass RF filter manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. Designed for surface-mount applications, it operates at a cutoff frequency of 700MHz with an insertion loss of 0.8dB. The component utilizes a 1206 (3216 metric) package measuring 3.08mm in length, 1.60mm in width, and a maximum height of 0.97mm. It features a 50-ohm impedance and is supplied in tape and reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction for stable RF performance
• Low insertion loss characteristics
• Surface-mount compatibility

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Wireless communication systems
• Base station filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ASTR' to confirm tape and reel packaging requirements against project needs. Ensure the 1206 footprint matches the PCB layout. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by environmental regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor codes to avoid ordering errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 700MHz low-pass response is required in a compact 1206 form factor. Consider the 0.8dB insertion loss specification for signal integrity constraints. Evaluate the 0.97mm maximum height against board clearance limitations. Compare against other LP series variants if different cutoff frequencies or package sizes are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LP1206 series of thin film low-pass filters from KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered for high-frequency applications requiring precise filtering characteristics. The series offers various cutoff frequencies while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and mounting styles for design flexibility.

Replacement Considerations

LP1206A0700ANTR serves as a direct alternative within the same series, offering identical electrical specifications but potentially differing in packaging configuration.
