ZXLF-K962+

Overview

The ZXLF-K962+ is a reflectionless low-pass filter from Mini-Circuits, operating from DC to 9.6 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance and 2.92 mm termination style. It employs a novel topology that absorbs stop-band signals internally rather than reflecting them. Typical performance data at 25°C indicates an insertion loss of 0.32 dB and VSWR of 1.02:1 at 10 GHz, while at 500 MHz, the insertion loss is 0.42 dB.

Feature Summary

• Reflectionless design that terminates stop-band signals internally to prevent signal reflections.

Applications

• RF and microwave system signal conditioning
• Test and measurement equipment interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturing date code upon order confirmation. Ensure the receiving facility supports 2.92 mm connector interfaces for proper integration. Confirm environmental specifications align with operational requirements, particularly regarding the minimum operating temperature of -40 C. Cross-reference part numbers to ensure exact model matching.

Selection Notes

Select this component when internal termination of out-of-band signals is required to maintain system stability. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF infrastructure. Consider the 2.92 mm interface compatibility with existing cabling and test fixtures. Evaluate insertion loss and VSWR metrics against link budget requirements for frequencies up to 9.6 GHz.
