LP1206A3600ASTR100

Overview

The LP1206A3600ASTR is a low-pass RF filter manufactured by KYOCERA AVX, designed for surface-mount applications. It operates at a cutoff frequency of 3.6 GHz with a nominal insertion loss of 0.7 dB. The component utilizes a 1206 (3216 metric) package, measuring 3.08 mm in length, 1.60 mm in width, and 0.97 mm in maximum height. It features a 50-ohm impedance and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is RoHS3 compliant and classified under EAR99.

Feature Summary

• Thin-film construction providing high performance signal conditioning
• Steep roll-off characteristics for effective out-of-band rejection
• Low insertion loss design optimized for RF signal integrity

Applications

• RF front-end modules requiring low-pass filtering
• Wireless communication systems operating near 3.6 GHz
• Signal conditioning circuits in mobile devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variations may indicate different packaging or tolerance specifications. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status directly with the manufacturer documentation before integration into regulated assemblies. Ensure the 1206 footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions precisely.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.6 GHz cutoff frequency is required within a standard 1206 surface-mount footprint. Consider the 0.7 dB insertion loss specification for power-sensitive RF paths. Verify that the -40°C to +85°C operating range aligns with the environmental conditions of the final application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LP series of low-pass filters from KYOCERA AVX. Similar models include LP1206A3500ASTR and LP1206A3200ASTR, which offer comparable form factors but differ in cutoff frequencies. These components are widely used in RF signal processing applications requiring compact, high-performance filtering solutions.

Replacement Considerations

LP1206A3500ASTR serves as a close functional substitute with a slightly lower cutoff frequency. LP1206A3200ASTR offers a similar package but operates at 3.2 GHz. Verify electrical parameters and physical dimensions before substituting to ensure circuit compatibility.
