SDR868M950S015

Overview

The SDR868M950S015 is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonator manufactured by NextGen Components. It operates at a nominal frequency of 868.95 MHz with a frequency tolerance of ±200 kHz. The device features a 50 Ohm impedance and is designed for surface mount applications in the -40°C to +85°C temperature range. It utilizes a 6-SMD, no-lead package configuration, specifically identified as L3.0*W3.0*H1.25mm or 3030 type with six pads. The component exhibits a maximum insertion loss of 2.0 dB and functions as a single-port device.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for stable high-frequency resonance
• Designed for surface mount integration with a compact 3030 footprint
• Operates reliably within an extended industrial temperature range

Applications

• RF filter circuits in wireless communication modules
• Frequency selection components in ISM band transceivers
• Signal processing stages in IoT devices operating at 868 MHz

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from NextGen Components to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics prior to integration. Ensure that the 6-SMD no-lead package compatibility matches the target PCB land pattern. Confirm that the ±200 kHz tolerance meets the system requirements for the 868.95 MHz application. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding ESD sensitivity common to SAW devices.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 868.95 MHz reference is required for surface-mount designs. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for standard RF transmission lines. Evaluate the thermal performance against the -40°C to +85°C operational limits. Compare the physical size constraints of the 3030 package against available board space. Assess the insertion loss specifications relative to system power budget requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SDR series of SAW resonators from NextGen Components, which are passive electronic components used for frequency control. These devices are distinct from active oscillators as they require an external circuit to generate signals. The series typically offers various frequency options tailored for European and global ISM bands, providing a cost-effective solution for mass-market electronics requiring stable RF frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 868.95 MHz frequency, ±200 kHz tolerance, 50 Ohm impedance, and 6-SMD package. Verify that alternative SAW resonators support the same -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Cross-reference pinout configurations to ensure compatibility with the existing 3030 footprint.
