SXBP-101+

Overview

The SXBP-101+ is a lumped LC band pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for radio frequency applications. It features a center frequency of 101 MHz with a bandwidth ranging from 94 to 108 MHz. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and exhibits a typical insertion loss of 3.5 dB. It is housed in an 8-SMD, no lead surface-mount package, utilizing miniature high Q capacitors and wire-welded inductors to ensure high reliability and repeatable performance.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes miniature high Q capacitors and wire-welded inductors for high reliability
• Provides repeatable performance across manufacturing batches
• Designed as a compact surface-mount band pass filter

Applications

• RF signal filtering in communication systems
• Frequency selection in receiver front-ends
• General electronic equipment requiring band pass filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics before integration. Confirm that the 8-SMD no-lead package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the internal LC components. Validate that the 50 Ohm impedance matches your system design parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 101 MHz center frequency with a 94-108 MHz passband is required. It is suitable for designs needing a compact SMT solution with reliable LC filtering characteristics. Consider the 3.5 dB insertion loss impact on system sensitivity. Evaluate the 8-SMD package size against available board space. Ensure the operating environment supports the component's specified temperature range.

Part Context

The SXBP-101+ belongs to Mini-Circuits' SXBP series of lumped element band pass filters. This series is engineered for RF and IF applications, offering a balance between performance and physical size. The components are built using discrete LC elements rather than monolithic structures, allowing for specific tuning capabilities within the series.

Replacement Considerations

For alternative frequencies within the same series, consider the SXBP-150+ (140-160 MHz). Verify pinout and package compatibility before substituting with other Mini-Circuits SMD filters. Cross-reference electrical specifications such as insertion loss and bandwidth to ensure functional equivalence.
