SLP-36+

Overview

The SLP-36+ is a 50Ω lumped LC low-pass filter designed for radio frequency applications. It provides a passband from DC to 36 MHz with an SMA connector interface. The component utilizes miniature high-Q capacitors and wire-welded inductors to achieve its filtering characteristics within a compact, connectorized package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes miniature high-Q capacitors and wire-welded inductors for signal processing
• Provides effective attenuation of frequencies above the 36 MHz cutoff point
• Features a robust SMA connectorized package for direct circuit integration

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Harmonic suppression in transmitter output stages
• Interference rejection in receiver front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and electrical performance graphs directly from Mini-Circuits official documentation before finalizing design specifications. Ensure that the SMA connector type and 50Ω impedance match your system requirements. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply levels may fluctuate.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff below 100 MHz is required. The lumped element construction offers a smaller form factor compared to distributed line filters at these frequencies. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the thermal limits specified in the official datasheet for continuous operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' SLP series of connectorized low-pass filters. The series provides various cutoff frequencies to suit different RF bandwidth needs. The '+' suffix typically indicates compliance with current environmental standards, though functional parameters remain consistent with the base model.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Mini-Circuits SLP models with similar cutoff frequencies, such as the SLP-40+. Verify impedance matching and connector compatibility when cross-referencing with components from other manufacturers offering lumped LC low-pass filters.
