RLP-264+

Overview

The RLP-264+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for RF and IF applications. It operates with a DC to 264 MHz passband and features a 50Ω impedance. The component utilizes an SMD package with eight no-lead contacts, specifically the GP731 case style. It supports a maximum RF power input of 0.5W and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC architecture providing low insertion loss and excellent amplitude balance
• Compact surface-mount design suitable for automated assembly processes
• Robust thermal performance across extended industrial temperature ranges

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• IF stage filtering in receiver architectures
• Harmonic suppression in microwave circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure correct packaging and variant selection. Confirm that the GP731 footprint matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure environmental specifications align with your operational temperature constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff near 264 MHz is required with minimal passband ripple. The 50Ω impedance ensures compatibility with standard transmission lines. Consider the 0.5W power handling limit for high-power applications. The SMD format facilitates space-constrained designs requiring reliable surface-mount integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RLP series of lumped element filters from Mini-Circuits. The series offers various cutoff frequencies while maintaining consistent 50Ω impedance characteristics. These components are engineered for general-purpose RF filtering tasks where compact size and cost-effectiveness are prioritized over distributed element alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits official substitution guides for direct equivalents. Verify that any alternative maintains identical 50Ω impedance and compatible physical dimensions. Ensure frequency response curves match application requirements to prevent signal integrity issues.
