RBP-263+

Overview

The RBP-263+ is a surface-mount lumped LC bandpass filter designed for radio frequency applications. It operates with a center frequency of 263.5 MHz and provides a bandwidth of 67 MHz, covering the range from 230 to 297 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes an SMD/SMT termination style. Packaged in the GP731 case style, it is suitable for integration into compact electronic circuits requiring precise signal conditioning within this specific frequency spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction for automated assembly
• Lumped LC topology for defined passband characteristics
• RoHS compliant manufacturing

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Frequency selection in communication systems
• Interference rejection in receiver front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix '+' indicates RoHS compliance when sourcing. Confirm the GP731 package dimensions match your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance aligns with your system design. Check availability through authorized Mini-Circuits distributors or verified electronics suppliers to guarantee component authenticity and quality standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed center frequency of 263.5 MHz is required. The 67 MHz bandwidth defines the passband limits. Consider the SMD form factor for space-constrained designs. Evaluate insertion loss and return loss specifications against system sensitivity requirements before finalizing the design choice.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' RBP series of bandpass filters. These components utilize lumped element LC technology rather than distributed transmission lines. The series offers various center frequencies tailored for different RF bands. The RBP-263+ specifically targets applications around the 263.5 MHz region.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits documentation for direct substitutes. Verify that alternative parts match the 263.5 MHz center frequency and 67 MHz bandwidth. Ensure the replacement maintains the 50 Ohm impedance and compatible GP731 package dimensions for seamless integration.
