Product Overview
Mini-Circuits BFCG-252+ is a LTCC band pass filter designed for the 2400 to 2500 MHz frequency range, suitable for various applications including ISM Band, WLAN, Bluetooth, and Zigbee. It features a rugged, ceramic construction in a tiny 0805 form factor (0.079" x 0.049" x 0.037"), offering good power handling and minimal performance variation due to parasitics. This filter provides excellent stopband rejection and a typical passband insertion loss of 1.7 dB. It operates within a wide temperature range of -55 to +125C and is ideal for dense PCB layouts.
