LP1206A3200ASTR

Overview

The LP1206A3200ASTR is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, designed for surface-mount applications in the 1206 (3216 metric) package. It operates at a cutoff frequency of 3.2 GHz with a nominal insertion loss of 0.85 dB. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes thin-film technology for signal conditioning. It supports a standard operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is supplied in reel packaging.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes thin-film technology for high-performance RF signal filtering
• Provides low insertion loss characteristics for efficient signal transmission
• Designed for surface-mount board assembly in compact 1206 footprints

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Low-pass filtering in wireless infrastructure equipment
• Signal integrity management in high-frequency circuit boards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical tolerances. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the standard reel packaging specifications provided by KYOCERA AVX. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with local regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.2 GHz cutoff frequency and 50 Ohm impedance are required for low-pass filtering. Consider the 1206 package size for space-constrained PCB layouts. Evaluate the 0.85 dB insertion loss against system power budget constraints. Confirm compatibility with SMD/SMT assembly processes and the specified -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LP series of low-pass filters from KYOCERA AVX, which employs thin-film and multilayer organic technologies. These components are engineered for RF applications requiring precise frequency control and minimal signal degradation. The series supports various impedance values and cutoff frequencies within standardized surface-mount packages.

Replacement Considerations

LP1206A3500ASTR: Offers a higher 3.5 GHz cutoff frequency with similar 0.7 dB insertion loss and 1206 footprint. LP1206A2700ANTR: Provides a lower 2.7 GHz cutoff frequency with comparable performance metrics and 1206 dimensions.
