PRODUCT OVERVIEW Mini-Circuits' LFCV-2402+ is a miniature low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) low pass filter with a DC to 23.8GHz passband that supports a variety of applications. This model provides 2.8dB typical insertion loss over a wide band due to its rugged monolithic construction. Housed in a small 1210 ceramic form factor, the filter is ideal for dense signal chain PCB layouts, where it complements MMIC size and performance. The LTCC fabrication process assures minimal RF performance variation while delivering a product that is well-suited for environmental extremes of high humidity and temperature.

KEY FEATURES
Feature Ultra-wide Stopband
LTCC Construction
Excellent Performance for Size

Advantages
Provides excellent stopband rejection to 56GHz and beyond, suitable for wide band applications.
The use of LTCC technology allows for repeatable performance in a rugged ceramic package, well suited for tough environments such as high humidity and temperature extremes. See Mini-Circuits Environmental Rating ENV06T10 for more information.
Offers best-in-class performance relative to larger-size alternative technologies. This mmWave multi-layer surface mount LTCC filter in a 1210 package allows for space to be saved in dense circuit board layouts, while also minimizing the effects of parasitics.
