SXLP-30+

Overview

The SXLP-30+ is a surface mount low pass RF filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 30 MHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. The component provides a cutoff frequency of 35 MHz with a rejection level of 20 dB at frequencies between 47-61 MHz. It supports a power handling capacity of 0.5 W and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.7:1. The device utilizes an 8-SMD, no lead package configuration for integration into printed circuit boards.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction for automated PCB assembly
• Low pass filtering capability from DC to 30 MHz
• 50 Ohm system impedance compatibility

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Harmonic suppression in transmitter outputs
• Noise reduction in receiver front ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the SXLP-30+ to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure that the 8-SMD footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions. Confirm that the 0.5 W power rating aligns with the maximum expected signal levels in the application environment to prevent component degradation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, surface mount solution is required for low-frequency filtering applications up to 30 MHz. Consider the 8-SMD package size constraints during board design. Evaluate the 20 dB rejection specification against the specific harmonic or noise frequencies present in the circuit to ensure adequate signal purity.

Part Context

Mini-Circuits produces a wide range of RF and microwave components operating from DC to 86 GHz. The SXLP-30+ belongs to their series of lumped LC low pass filters designed for general-purpose RF applications. These components are typically used in conjunction with other passive elements like attenuators and splitters in test and measurement setups.
