N016MD9S

Overview

The N016MD9S is a surface mount band stop RF filter manufactured by Knowles Dielectric Labs. It operates at a center frequency of 1.575 GHz with a bandwidth of 1.3 GHz. The device features an insertion loss of 1.5 dB and utilizes a 6-SMD, no-lead package configuration.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount band stop RF filter design
• Optimized for 1.575 GHz frequency applications

Applications

• GNSS receiver front-end filtering
• Satellite navigation signal processing
• RF interference suppression circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -T) against official datasheets to confirm packaging type, as standard part numbers may denote bulk or reel configurations. Ensure compatibility with automated placement equipment if using tape-and-reel variants. Cross-reference manufacturer documentation for exact mechanical dimensions and soldering profiles.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact band stop solution is required for L-band frequencies. The 6-SMD no-lead package offers space efficiency for dense PCB layouts. Confirm that the 1.3 GHz bandwidth adequately covers the unwanted signal spectrum while preserving the desired 1.575 GHz passband integrity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the RF filter category within Knowles Dielectric Labs' portfolio. It serves as a specialized passive device for high-frequency signal conditioning, distinct from their ceramic capacitors and acoustic products. The technology focuses on miniaturized microwave components for communication systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for identical electrical specifications in alternative suppliers. Verify pinout compatibility for the 6-SMD no-lead footprint. Ensure substitution parts maintain the same center frequency and bandwidth requirements.
