Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure correct packaging configuration, such as Cut Tape or Reel options, as these affect handling but not electrical performance. Confirm that the lead time aligns with production schedules, noting standard availability periods may vary. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2.655GHz center frequency and 70MHz bandwidth are required for RF filtering tasks. The 3.6dB insertion loss specification should be evaluated against system link budget constraints. The 3x3mm SMD package size must fit within the available board space constraints of the target design application.

Part Context

TST specializes in SAW components including filters and resonators for mobile and wireless markets. The TA1232A belongs to their RF SAW filter series, targeting high-frequency applications in cellular and wireless infrastructure sectors where precise frequency selection is critical for signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are documented for this specific model. Cross-referencing requires matching exact frequency, bandwidth, and package dimensions with alternative suppliers.
