RF1415D

Overview

The RF1415D is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter manufactured by RFMi, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates at a center frequency of 315.17 MHz with a frequency range spanning from 314.84 MHz to 315.15 MHz. The component features an insertion loss of 1.6 dB and supports a bandwidth of 600 kHz. It is rated for a voltage of 12 V and utilizes SMD/SMT termination types within the SM-3838-8 package. The device meets AEC-Q200 qualification standards and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes advanced SAW design and fabrication technology to achieve high performance and very low loss.
• Requires simple external impedance matching due to its integrated design characteristics.
• Qualified for automotive applications under the AEC-Q200 standard.

Applications

• Frequency control elements in transmitters
• Automotive devices
• Digital and wireless communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation to confirm exact electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
