SXLP-36+

Overview

The SXLP-36+ is a lumped LC low-pass RF filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It provides signal conditioning with a passband from DC to 36 MHz and operates at a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. The component features an 8-SMD, no-lead surface-mount package for compact integration. Key electrical specifications include a maximum power handling of 0.5 W, a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.3:1, and a rejection level of 20 dB at frequencies between 50-57 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC architecture designed for effective low-pass filtering applications
• Surface-mount construction utilizing an 8-SMD, no-lead package format
• Optimized for 50-ohm system impedance environments

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Frequency selection within radio frequency circuits
• Noise suppression in IF and microwave assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation before finalizing design integration. Confirm that the 8-SMD, no-lead package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure operational parameters such as the 0.5 W power limit and 50-ohm impedance are compatible with your system's signal levels and transmission line characteristics to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass response up to 36 MHz is required in a space-constrained design. The SMT package facilitates automated assembly processes. Consider the 0.5 W power rating and VSWR specifications to ensure compatibility with your source and load impedances. This filter is suitable for applications requiring moderate rejection characteristics above the cutoff frequency.
