Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update electrical specifications or mechanical drawings over time. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches your system requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to your deployment. Cross-reference the part number suffix to confirm the exact variant intended for purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass filter with a 2800 MHz passband is required. The 50Ω impedance rating must match the surrounding circuitry to minimize reflections. Consider the SMA interface compatibility for board or chassis mounting. Evaluate the 3.3 GHz cutoff frequency against the specific harmonic rejection needs of the application design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the VLF series of low-pass filters produced by Mini-Circuits. The series covers various frequency ranges for RF and IF applications. The VLF-2850+ specifically addresses needs for filtering signals up to 2800 MHz while maintaining a 50Ω system impedance standard common in telecommunications and test equipment.
