New high performance, low pass integrated thin film filter in ultra miniature 0805 case

AVX Corporation has released new 1800MHz, 1900MHz, 2400MHz, 2900MHz, 3500MHz, and 4000MHz 0805 high performance, low pass integrated thin film (ITF) SMD filter that exhibits low insertion loss and extremely sharp roll-off in high frequency wireless applications including: mobile communications systems, microcell and picocell base stations, satellite TV receivers, GPS, vehicle location systems, and wireless LANs. Based on thin film multilayer technology, the new LP Series filters deliver excellent high frequency performance, and features an ultra miniature 0805 chip size with a rugged construction for reliable automatic assembly. "Wireless systems engineers rely on advanced electronic components, like our 0805 LP Series filters, to achieve the smaller, slimmer, and more functional designs that the market demands," said Larry Eisenberger, principal technical marketing engineer at AVX. "Our new high performance, low pass ITF filter provides these engineers with peak performance and top quality in an ultra miniature 0805 chip size especially designed for the smaller and more crowded PCBs that enable next-generation wireless electronics." Measuring just 2.03mm x 1.55mm x 1.02mm (L x W x H ±0.10mm), the new low profile, low pass filters are rated for 8W continuous power, and operating and storage temperatures spanning -40C to +85C. Featuring characteristic impedance of 50Ohm and nickel/lead-free-solder (Sn100) coated terminations compatible with automatic soldering technologies (reflow, wave soldering, vapor phase, and manual), the RoHS compliant LP Series filters are 100% tested for electrical parameters and both visual and mechanical characteristics, and are shipped on tape and reel.
