Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing the ZVBP-8250-S+ to ensure compliance with current RoHS and REACH standards. Confirm that the SMA connector polarity matches your system requirements. Check for any updated mechanical drawings if precise mounting dimensions are critical for your enclosure design. Ensure proper ESD precautions are taken during handling and installation to maintain component integrity.

Selection Notes

Select the ZVBP-8250-S+ when a fixed center frequency around 8.25 GHz is required with a 450 MHz bandwidth. This component is suitable for designs needing high power handling and steep skirt selectivity. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing PCB or cable assemblies. Evaluate if the cavity size fits within the available space constraints of the final assembly compared to planar alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' ZVBP series of cavity band pass filters. These components are engineered for demanding RF and microwave environments where stability and performance are paramount. The series typically covers various frequency bands up to 36 GHz, offering consistent electrical characteristics across different models. The ZVBP-8250-S+ specifically targets S-band and upper C-band applications requiring robust signal filtering.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits documentation for direct cross-references. Verify that any substitute maintains the 8025-8475 MHz passband and 50 Ohm impedance. Ensure connector type remains SMA to avoid adapter losses.
