VXLF-172H+

Overview

The VXLF-172H+ is a reflectionless low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for RF applications requiring precise signal filtering. It operates with a cutoff frequency of 2.35 GHz and supports a passband up to 2000 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes SMA termination for reliable connectivity. It is rated for a power handling capacity of 39 dBm and complies with RoHS and REACH standards. The device employs a novel topology that internally terminates stop-band signals, eliminating undesired reflections in the stop band while maintaining a matched impedance.

Feature Summary

• Employs a reflectionless topology that absorbs and terminates stop-band signals internally to eliminate undesired reflections
• Maintains a 50 Ohm impedance match in both the passband and stopband
• Features SMA termination for direct integration into standard RF systems

Applications

• RF front-end modules requiring reflectionless filtering
• Wireless communication systems operating below 2.35 GHz
• Test and measurement equipment needing stable impedance matching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the VXLF-172H+ to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with SMA connectors and 50 Ohm system requirements. Check for RoHS and REACH compliance documentation if required for your manufacturing process. Confirm the active status of the part number before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select the VXLF-172H+ when reflectionless performance is critical to prevent signal integrity issues caused by stop-band reflections. This component is suitable for designs requiring a sharp cutoff near 2.35 GHz with high power handling capabilities. Consider the SMA interface and FF704 case style for physical integration constraints.

Part Context

The VXLF-172H+ belongs to Mini-Circuits' VXLF series of reflectionless filters. This series utilizes advanced topology to provide superior performance compared to traditional filters by managing stop-band energy internally. The component is part of an active product line, ensuring availability for ongoing design projects.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for the VXLF-172H+. Designers should consult Mini-Circuits directly for potential alternatives or custom solutions if this specific reflectionless low-pass filter is unavailable.
