ZHFW-K1042+

Overview

The ZHFW-K1042+ is a coaxial high-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for RF applications within the 11.5 GHz to 20 GHz frequency range. It features a 50-ohm impedance and utilizes LTCC technology housed in a connectorized package with 2.92mm interfaces. Typical electrical performance includes an insertion loss of 1.8 dB, a return loss of 14 dB, and stop-band rejection of 35 dB.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes LTCC technology for robust signal conditioning
• Provides effective stop-band rejection below the cutoff frequency
• Features low insertion loss for efficient signal transmission

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in microwave systems
• Test and measurement equipment setups
• Wireless communication infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical drawings before integration. Confirm that the 2.92mm connector polarity and mating requirements align with your system interface. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational standards. Cross-reference part numbers to avoid confusion with similar series models.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff above 11.5 GHz is required. The 50-ohm impedance matches standard RF systems. Consider the physical size of the connectorized package for board layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management needs based on power handling specifications found in the official documentation.

Part Context

This model belongs to Mini-Circuits' family of broadband connectorized filters. These units are engineered for precision test environments and reliable field conditions. The design emphasizes consistent performance across the specified bandwidth while maintaining compact form factors suitable for dense RF assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains identical impedance, connector type, and frequency response characteristics. Ensure mechanical dimensions match existing mounting requirements.
