• The safety critical design feature provides that if any internal component becomes an open or short circuit,
   the output signal falls by at least 18 dB below normal.
• The temperature stability is enhanced by selecting the resonant components such that the temperature
   coefficient of inductance is the inverse of the temperature coefficient of capacitance. In addition, the
   components are subjected to prolonged temperature cycling, before tuning, so as to minimize
   the disaccommodation factor of the ferrite materials.
• The filters are hermetically sealed in a plated steel can for long life under a wide range of environmental
   conditions including high relative humidity.
• All filters will tolerate 350 volts peak-to-peak at out of band frequencies.
• The filters are PC board mountable with solderable pins in glass to metal seals. There are four 8-32
   threaded inserts for secure mounting when subjected to vibration. FILTER Passive Audio Bandpass Filter

The 7444 series are passive bandpass filters designed for use in signalling, monitoring and supervisory systems where safety is critical and the filter must be stable over the range of temperatures experienced in an unheated, non air-conditioned vehicle exposed to all North American environmental conditions.
