VLF-530+

Overview

The VLF-530+ is a coaxial low pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 530 MHz and features a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The component utilizes LTCC technology for its construction. It is available with SMA connectors as an in-line module configuration.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial low pass filter design for RF signal conditioning
• LTCC construction technology
• 50 Ohm impedance matching

Applications

• RF signal filtering
• Signal conditioning circuits
• Low pass filtering applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type and package details against the official Mini-Circuits datasheet before procurement, as generic images may vary from the actual component specifications. Confirm that the SMA interface matches your system requirements. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance aligns with your circuit design parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low pass filter with a cutoff near 530 MHz is required. The 50 Ohm impedance makes it suitable for standard RF systems. Consider the coaxial form factor for integration into existing RF chains. Verify compatibility with operating frequencies up to the specified limit.

Part Context

This part belongs to the VLF series of low pass filters from Mini-Circuits, which includes various models with different cutoff frequencies such as VLF-105, VLF-400, and VLF-1200. The series provides solutions for DC to multi-GHz filtering needs using consistent LTCC technology and 50 Ohm impedance standards across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Mini-Circuits VLF series components like VLF-400 or VLF-1200 if frequency adjustments are acceptable. Cross-manufacturer equivalents require matching impedance, frequency range, and connector type specifications.
