LP1206A3200ASTR500

Overview

The LP1206A3200ASTR500 is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates at a cutoff frequency of 3.2 GHz with a nominal system impedance of 50 Ohms. The component utilizes a surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) package in the standard 1206 (3216 metric) footprint, measuring 3.2 mm in length and 1.6 mm in width. It features an insertion loss of 0.85 dB and supports board mounting. The device is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is supplied in reel packaging.
