VLF-490+

Overview

The VLF-490+ is a low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for radio frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 490 MHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. The component utilizes SMA connectors for termination and is constructed using LTCC technology. It is housed in a rugged uni-body package suitable for in-line module integration.

Feature Summary

• Rugged uni-body construction
• LTCC technology implementation

Applications

• Radio frequency signal processing
• In-line module integration
• Microwave component systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and connector details before procurement, as generic images may not reflect exact termination styles. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the SMA interface matches your system requirements. Cross-reference the part number with official Mini-Circuits documentation to validate electrical specifications and physical dimensions for accurate integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-pass filter with a cutoff near 490 MHz is required. Ensure the system impedance is 50 Ohms to match the filter's design. Consider the SMA connector type for compatibility with existing RF infrastructure. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Circuits VLF series of low-pass filters. The series offers various cutoff frequencies for different RF applications. The VLF-490+ specifically targets applications requiring filtering below 490 MHz. It is part of a broader portfolio of RF, IF, and microwave components from DC to 86 GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like MINI-VLF-490 if alternative packaging or slight specification variations are acceptable. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs before substitution. Consult official documentation for any functional differences between original and replacement parts.
