SM SERIES SURFACE MOUNT “DROP-ON” FILTERS

Details

SM filters achieve true “drop-on” surface mount performance without sacrificing electrical characteristics. The uniquepackage design installs onto microstrip or into other substrate configurations. The filter body acts as an electrical barrier,effectively isolating the input and output. Resulting isolation values can be as large as 80 dB but will not be lower than 60 dB if the substrate provides ground over the filter body contact surface. Higher isolation can be achieved if contact is also provided to the top of the filter.

The RF pins are solder plated Kovar, while the ground pins are silver plated soft copper. Thus, the ground pins can absorb thermal differences and deformation which occur during installation. Both RF and ground pins meet MIL solderability requirements. The packages are finished with silver plating to MIL-QQ-365 but are available with Rhodium or Gold flash to guarantee long life and attractive cosmetics.
