ZVBP-909A-S+

Overview

The ZVBP-909A-S+ is a cavity band pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for radio frequency signal conditioning. It operates within a passband of 902 to 915 MHz with a center frequency of 908.5 MHz and a bandwidth of 13 MHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes SMA connectors for interface. Housed in the TZ2959 case style, it offers low insertion loss and excellent power handling capabilities. This active device is engineered for applications requiring fast roll-off characteristics and wide stopband rejection.

Feature Summary

• Cavity construction providing very low insertion loss
• Fast roll-off with wide stopband rejection
• High power handling capability
• SMA connector interface

Applications

• RF signal conditioning systems
• Communication equipment operating in the 902-915 MHz range
• Radio frequency filtering modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Mini-Circuits documentation to ensure correct specifications. Confirm that the SMA connector type and TZ2959 package style match system requirements. Check for electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention protocols during handling. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm system impedance before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a narrow bandpass filter is required for frequencies between 902 and 915 MHz. The choice is driven by the need for high power handling and low insertion loss in RF paths. Consider the physical dimensions of the TZ2959 case for board space constraints. Verify that SMA connectors align with existing interconnect infrastructure.

Part Context

This model belongs to the ZVBP series of cavity band pass filters from Mini-Circuits. These components are characterized by their robust construction and performance in demanding RF environments. The series typically supports passbands up to 15 GHz and stopbands up to 20 GHz, offering versatile solutions for various frequency ranges.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-reference electrical parameters such as center frequency, bandwidth, and impedance to ensure functional equivalence. Do not assume generic cavity filters are compatible without verifying specific performance data.
