SXLP-16+

Overview

The SXLP-16+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter from Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates over a frequency range of DC to 16 MHz with a 50-ohm impedance. The component utilizes surface-mount technology (SMD/SMT) and is housed in an 8-SMD, no-lead package measuring 11.18 mm x 18.8 mm x 6.86 mm. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features a cutoff frequency of approximately 18.3 MHz and a passband ripple of 1.2 dB.

Feature Summary

• Constructs a low-pass filter using miniature high-Q capacitors and wire-welded inductors for high reliability.
• Ensures repeatable performance across production lots through consistent design and manufacturing standards.
• Provides effective signal conditioning by attenuating frequencies above the specified cutoff point.

Applications

• RF signal filtering in communication systems
• Signal conditioning in test and measurement equipment
• Noise suppression in electronic circuits requiring DC to 16 MHz bandwidth

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+) indicates RoHS compliance when ordering. Confirm the package type matches your PCB footprint requirements, as this model uses an 8-SMD no-lead configuration. Check the datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions to ensure adequate clearance on the board. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, reliable low-pass filter is needed for frequencies up to 16 MHz. The 50-ohm impedance makes it suitable for standard RF systems. Consider the SMD package for automated assembly processes. Verify that the 1.2 dB passband ripple meets your signal integrity requirements before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SXLP series of lumped LC low-pass filters from Mini-Circuits. The series offers various cutoff frequencies to suit different application needs. These filters are known for their small size and high reliability, utilizing wire-welded inductors and high-Q capacitors. They are designed for consistent performance in demanding RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Mini-Circuits database for direct substitutes with similar cutoff frequencies and impedance values. Ensure any replacement maintains the same package dimensions and pinout compatibility. Verify that alternative components meet the required temperature range and power handling capabilities for your specific application.
