A lot depends on the frequency you are operating at. A low frequency filter may use electrolytic caps, for example, and there is no way you will ever get 180°C electrolytics! Most of the common non-electrolytic capacitor dielectrics won't have a hope of operating at this temperature either. Maybe if you clarify the type and frequency of the filter... You are also at or above the melting point of normal tin-lead solder, so that is going to make things just a tad difficult. Bob Wilson TIR Systems Ltd.

I'm designing a filter that has to live and work with an Ambient temp of 180 C. Does anyone have suggestions as to component vendors that I could contact for parts? Thanks, Derek Walton. L F Research
