SF2160E

Overview

The RFMi SF2160E is a surface-mount SAW bandpass filter designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2300 MHz to 2360 MHz, with a center frequency of 2330 MHz and a bandwidth of 60 MHz. The component features a 50-ohm impedance and supports a maximum voltage rating of 3 V. It exhibits an insertion loss of 2.4 dB and is housed in an SM3030-6 package. The device functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions align with the specified operating temperature range to maintain component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow 60 MHz bandwidth is required around 2330 MHz. The 50-ohm impedance matches standard RF systems. Consider the SM3030-6 footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the -40°C to +85°C operational range for robust performance in varying environments.

Part Context

The SF2160E belongs to the SF series of SAW filters from RFMi. These components are engineered for high-performance RF applications requiring stable frequency response. The series typically offers low insertion loss and sharp roll-off characteristics, making them suitable for modern wireless standards demanding precise spectral control.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical 2300-2360 MHz range and 60 MHz bandwidth. Verify pinout compatibility for the SM3030-6 package. Ensure replacement parts meet the same 50-ohm impedance and 3 V rating specifications to maintain system performance.
