SXLP-13+

Overview

The SXLP-13+ is a lumped LC lowpass filter designed for DC to 13 MHz operation with a 50Ω impedance. It utilizes surface mount technology (SMT) and is housed in a shielded package measuring 0.440″ x 0.740″ x 0.270″. The component features an SMD, no lead configuration with eight terminals. Key electrical specifications include a cutoff frequency of 15.1MHz and a maximum insertion loss of 1.2dB within the passband.

Feature Summary

• Shielded surface mount construction for electromagnetic interference protection
• Lumped LC topology providing effective signal filtering
• 8-terminal SMD package design for automated assembly

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment input stages
• Base station front-end filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision when sourcing components to ensure compatibility with current manufacturing standards. Confirm that the part number suffix matches the required shielding and termination specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation against distributor listings to validate authenticity and technical accuracy before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise attenuation above 13 MHz while maintaining signal integrity below that threshold. The shielded package is suitable for dense PCB layouts where crosstalk reduction is critical. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50Ω specification to minimize reflection losses and maintain optimal performance characteristics.

Part Context

This model belongs to the SXLP series of lowpass filters manufactured by Mini-Circuits. The series utilizes lumped element LC designs optimized for lower frequency ranges. The SXLP-13+ specifically targets applications needing sharp cutoff characteristics near the 13 MHz boundary while offering robust shielding compared to unshielded alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

The SXLP-10.7+ serves as a functional substitute with a slightly lower cutoff frequency range. Verify that the 10.7 MHz bandwidth meets the specific application requirements if replacing the SXLP-13+. Both components share similar package dimensions and shielding technologies.
