Product Overview
Mini-Circuits LFCW-133+ is a Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) low pass filter, designed in a very small, 0603 package. The multilayer construction provides high repeatability of performance. Small, wrap-around terminations minimize variations in performance due to parasitics. Covering DC 13.25 GHz, these units offer low insertion loss, good rejection, and excellent power handling capability.
