SLP-44+

Overview

The SLP-44+ is a 50Ω low-pass filter designed for RF applications, covering a frequency range from DC to 44 MHz. It features SMA male connectors and utilizes miniature high-Q capacitors with wire-welded inductors. The cutoff frequency is specified at 48.5 MHz, providing a sharp transition characteristic. This connectorized module is engineered for signal conditioning within radio frequency systems requiring precise frequency filtering.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes miniature high-Q capacitors and wire-welded inductors for robust construction
• Provides effective signal conditioning through lumped LC topology
• Features SMA male connectors for direct inline integration

Applications

• RF signal conditioning modules
• Radio frequency system filtering
• Base station equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as Mini-Circuits may update component specifications over time. Confirm that the SMA male connector configuration matches your system interface requirements. Ensure the 50Ω impedance rating aligns with your transmission line characteristics to maintain optimal performance and prevent signal reflection issues during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass response up to 44 MHz is required with SMA connectivity. The design prioritizes compactness while maintaining high Q-factor performance. Consider the physical dimensions of approximately 17.78 mm diameter and 50.29 mm height for enclosure space planning. Evaluate thermal management needs based on expected power levels within the operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' SLP series of low-pass filters, which are characterized by their use of lumped element technology. The series offers various cutoff frequencies tailored for different RF bandwidth requirements. These filters are commonly employed in communication infrastructure where reliable frequency discrimination is essential for maintaining signal integrity across operational bands.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains identical impedance, connector type, and cutoff frequency specifications to ensure seamless integration without redesigning surrounding circuitry or mechanical mounting structures.
