ZLFV-K1652+

Overview

The ZLFV-K1652+ is a broadband low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning applications. It features a passband extending from DC to 16500 MHz (16.5 GHz) with a 50-ohm impedance system. The device is housed in a connectorized package utilizing 2.92mm interfaces, ensuring reliable connectivity in high-frequency environments. It provides excellent power handling capabilities, supporting up to 3.2W of RF input power, and offers low insertion loss alongside good matching characteristics within the specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• Broadband frequency coverage from DC to 16.5 GHz
• High power handling capability up to 3.2W
• Low insertion loss performance
• Connectorized package design

Applications

• RF signal filtering in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Broadband infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as Mini-Circuits may update specifications over time. Confirm that the 2.92mm connector interface matches your system requirements. Ensure the 50-ohm impedance aligns with your circuit design. Check for any recent revisions to the power handling ratings or frequency response curves before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 16.5 GHz is required. Consider its connectorized form factor if board-mount alternatives are unsuitable. Evaluate the 3.2W power rating against your system's maximum output levels. Compare insertion loss specifications with other filters if signal integrity is critical. Ensure compatibility with 2.92mm mating connectors.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ZLFV series of low-pass filters. The series is characterized by broadband performance and robust construction suitable for demanding RF environments. Mini-Circuits specializes in signal processing components, including filters, amplifiers, and mixers, serving industries such as telecommunications and industrial automation.

Replacement Considerations

The LFCV-1652+ is a related LTCC low-pass filter model from Mini-Circuits covering the same DC to 16500 MHz range. However, it utilizes a different package type compared to the connectorized ZLFV-K1652+. Verify mechanical fit and connector compatibility before substituting.
