SF2296C

Overview

The RFMi SF2296C is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filter designed for signal conditioning in wireless communication systems. It operates at a center frequency of 312 MHz with a bandwidth of 300 kHz, covering a range from 299.5 MHz to 324.5 MHz. The component supports a voltage rating of 6V and features a 50 Ohm impedance. It is housed in an SM-5050-8 surface-mount package, measuring 5.00mm x 5.00mm with a maximum height of 1.70mm.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Surface Acoustic Wave technology for precise frequency filtering
• Optimized for low-power wireless and M2M applications
• Compact surface-mount design suitable for space-constrained PCBs

Applications

• Wireless communication modules
• Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connectivity devices
• RF signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the SM-5050-8 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the 312 MHz center frequency and 300 kHz bandwidth parameters with your system design needs to ensure compatibility with the intended wireless standard.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a SAW filter is required for the 312 MHz ISM band or similar industrial frequencies. Ensure the 6V voltage rating meets the circuit's operational limits. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF transmission lines. Consider the 5.00mm x 5.00mm package size for assembly constraints. Verify thermal management requirements for surface-mount installation.
