ZX75LP-264-S+

Overview

The ZX75LP-264-S+ is a lumped LC low-pass filter manufactured by Mini-Circuits, designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 264 MHz and features a standard 50 Ohm impedance. The component utilizes SMA connectors for inline installation and is housed in the KE1467 case style. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Typical insertion loss is specified at 2 dB, ensuring efficient signal transmission within the passband while attenuating higher frequencies.

Feature Summary

• Lumped LC architecture provides compact form factor with effective high-frequency attenuation
• SMA connector interface enables direct integration into standard RF test and measurement systems
• Wide operational temperature range ensures reliability in diverse environmental conditions

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication equipment
• Harmonic suppression in radio frequency circuits
• Signal filtering in test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix S+ indicates RoHS compliance when sourcing. Confirm the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Check current availability as lead times may vary. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance aligns with the target circuit design. Review the datasheet for precise insertion loss and return loss specifications relevant to the application bandwidth.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a sharp cutoff near 264 MHz. The 50 Ohm impedance is critical for matching standard RF systems. Consider the KE1467 package size for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the thermal performance against the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Compare insertion loss characteristics with alternative filters if signal integrity is paramount.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ZX75LP series of low-pass filters from Mini-Circuits. The series offers various cutoff frequencies to suit different RF needs. The ZX75LP-264-S+ specifically targets applications needing filtering up to 264 MHz. It represents a standard solution for lumped element filter designs in the RF spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ZX75LP models with similar cutoff frequencies, such as ZX75LP-105-S+. Verify impedance and connector compatibility before substitution. Consult Mini-Circuits documentation for cross-reference data.
