VBFZ-1065-S+

Overview

The VBFZ-1065-S+ is a connectorized bandpass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for RF signal conditioning applications. It operates with a center frequency of 1.065 GHz and provides a bandwidth of 170 MHz. The device covers a passband range from 980 MHz to 1150 MHz. Key electrical specifications include an insertion loss of 1.68 dB. The component utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity and is configured for chassis mounting. This model is part of the Mini-Circuits portfolio of RF and microwave components.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise bandpass filtering within the 980 MHz to 1150 MHz frequency range
• Features SMA connectors for reliable RF interconnection
• Designed for chassis mounting to support structured system integration

Applications

• ADS-B flight tracking systems
• RF signal conditioning in wireless infrastructure
• Test and measurement equipment requiring specific band rejection

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix when ordering, as variations such as VBFZ-1065-S may exist without the plus sign. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches your system requirements. Ensure the chassis mounting style is compatible with your enclosure design. Cross-reference the datasheet for detailed mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed bandpass characteristic centered at 1.065 GHz is required. The 170 MHz bandwidth suits applications needing rejection of out-of-band signals outside the 980-1150 MHz range. Consider the 1.68 dB insertion loss impact on system gain. The chassis mount form factor dictates physical integration constraints compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Circuits VBFZ series of connectorized bandpass filters. The series offers various center frequencies tailored for different RF applications. Mini-Circuits specializes in RF, IF, and microwave components ranging from DC to 86 GHz. The VBFZ series is distinct from their ceramic or LTCC filter lines due to its connectorized nature.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other VBFZ models with similar center frequencies if the 1.065 GHz specification is flexible. Verify compatibility with existing SMA interfaces. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided documentation.
