VLF-2600+

Overview

The VLF-2600+ is a coaxial low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for radio frequency applications. It operates from DC to 2600 MHz with a cutoff frequency of 3125 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes SMA connectors for both input and output interfaces. Constructed as an in-line module, it offers low insertion loss and high power handling capabilities, supporting up to 4.5W of RF input power.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial in-line module design with SMA connectors
• Low insertion loss performance
• High power handling capability up to 4.5W

Applications

• RF signal filtering in communication systems
• S-band upconverter designs
• Microwave component assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the VLF-2600+ to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector specifications. Ensure compatibility with system impedance requirements of 50 Ohms. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect pinout or material composition before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust coaxial solution is required for frequencies up to 2.6 GHz. The SMA interface simplifies integration into existing test setups or modular RF chains. Consider its power handling limits relative to the expected signal levels in the application environment to ensure reliable long-term operation.
