8-SMD, 5.0x5.0
FEATURE
Product Description
FSF-5050-458M5 458.5MHz IF SAW Filter
A compact 5×5mm SMD IF SAW filter centered at 458.5MHz for 50Ω UHF receiver chains. Built to deliver reliable passband selectivity, stable out-of-band suppression, and repeatable production performance. Ideal for private radio, industrial RF modules, and narrowband receivers that must hold margin under strong blockers.
Positioning & Design Highlights
FSF-5050-458M5 belongs to FCom Fuji Crystal’s FSF-5050 IF SAW family engineered for compact UHF intermediate-frequency blocks. The 458.5MHz option is widely aligned with narrowband channel planning and multi-stage IF architectures where stable selectivity is essential.
- Miniaturized 5×5mm SMD footprint for dense RF/IF layouts.
- 50Ω reference design for easier system integration and testing.
- Balanced passband flatness and stopband attenuation for robust adjacent-channel control.
- Suitable for volume production with consistent RF performance.
Typical Applications
- Private mobile radio and UHF terminals
- Industrial telemetry, control and narrowband data radios
- Multi-stage IF chains in rugged receivers
- Special-purpose wireless modules requiring compact IF filtering
If you need adjacent center frequencies, customized bandwidths or tailored out-of-band targets, FCom can evaluate application-specific FSF-5050 designs.
Key Specs (Quick Summary)
Suggested test condition note: values are referenced to 50Ω source/load at 25°C unless otherwise specified in the datasheet.

| Package | 5.0 × 5.0mm SMD | Low-profile footprint for compact designs |
| System impedance | 50Ω | Referenced to standard RF test environments |
| Insertion loss | Typically ~1.6–2.5dB | Dependent on confirmed passband definition |
| Passband bandwidth | Defined per IF plan (narrowband focus) | Options available for different channel masks |
| Operating temperature | Commercial to industrial options | Outdoor/mission profiles supported upon request |
| Compliance | RoHS / Lead Free | Standard production control |
Integration in 50Ω IF Chains
- Maintain controlled-impedance traces and short transitions to minimize reflections and passband ripple.
- Evaluate the input/output return loss of adjacent IF amplifiers during EVT/DVT.
- If needed, add small LC trimming to align the board-level response with your channel mask.
Temperature & Production Consistency
- For outdoor or industrial terminals, prioritize wide-temperature confirmations in your qualification plan.
- Request batch trend data to accelerate margin verification and production ramp-up.
- Combine IF SAW selection with stable reference oscillators to improve overall receiver robustness.
Target Systems, Standards & Typical IF Placement
Where FSF-5050-458M5 Fits
- UHF narrowband receivers (PMR / industrial wireless / telemetry)
- Superheterodyne and multi-conversion architectures with a 458.5MHz IF stage
- 50Ω receiver blocks requiring repeatable IF selectivity for production
If your system is sensitivity-limited under blockers, IF SAW selectivity is often the simplest way to recover margin.
IF Chain Position
- Placed between IF amplifier stages to shape channel mask and reduce adjacent-channel energy
- Used before limiting stages to reduce overload and intermodulation risk
- Validated with board-level S-parameter checks (return loss and ripple)
For best results, verify impedance environment at the exact placement point, not only on a standalone 50Ω fixture.
