SCLF-10+

Overview

The SCLF-10+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates from DC to 36 MHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. The component utilizes an SMD/SMT surface-mount package, specifically the YY161 case style, suitable for board mounting. It supports tape and reel packaging formats. This filter provides frequency selection capabilities within its specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC architecture for compact integration
• Low-pass filtering characteristic
• Surface-mount design for automated assembly

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Frequency selection in communication systems
• Base station equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact datasheet version for the SCLF-10+ model to confirm the specific cutoff frequency characteristics, as some sources indicate variations between 10 MHz and 36 MHz designs. Ensure compatibility with the YY161 footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass filter with a cutoff near 36 MHz is required in a 50 Ohm system. The SMD format facilitates high-volume production. Compare insertion loss and stopband rejection requirements against other Mini-Circuits models like the SCLF-30+ or SCLF-10 if different frequency ranges are needed.

Part Context

Mini-Circuits specializes in RF, IF, and microwave components. The SCLF series represents their lumped element filter line, offering cost-effective solutions for lower frequency applications compared to their distributed or LTCC filter lines. These components are widely used in wireless infrastructure and test equipment.
