LP1206A3200ASTR100

Overview

The LP1206A3200ASTR100 is a high-performance thin film low-pass filter manufactured by KYOCERA AVX. Designed for signal conditioning applications, this component operates at a cutoff frequency of 3.2 GHz with a nominal system impedance of 50 Ohms. It utilizes a surface-mount 1206 (3216 metric) package and features SMD/SMT termination types. The device exhibits an insertion loss of 0.85 dB and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in reels of 100 units, it belongs to the LP series and is classified under RF filters.

Feature Summary

• Thin film construction for superior high-frequency performance
• Low insertion loss characteristics for efficient signal transmission
• Compact 1206 surface-mount footprint for space-constrained designs

Applications

• RF signal conditioning circuits
• High-frequency communication systems
• Signal filtering in electronic modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific packaging quantity of 100 units per reel against standard bulk options. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets. Ensure the 3.2 GHz cutoff frequency aligns with circuit requirements. Check lead times as these are often made-to-order items. Validate the 50 Ohm impedance match for your specific application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3.2 GHz low-pass response is required in a compact form factor. The thin film technology offers stability compared to other filter types. Consider the 1206 package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 0.85 dB insertion loss impact on overall system gain. Ensure operating temperatures remain within the specified -40°C to +85°C range.
