Identify component "BCF JW 455B G"

[nonsuchpro]

Hello all.
Can anyone help me identify this component?
I have looked up the numbers but have not been able to come up with anything.
It is approximately 10mm x 7mm with 3 pins. The only markings are "BCF JW 455B G"
The black area on top is just a shadow, the component is all red.

Thanks!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Are you trying to replace it or just identify it ? I would cut it open, it looks as though it might be a potted circuit of some kind.

Looks like a 455kHz ceramic filter from the IF of an AM radio.. Toko, Murata and others make similar devices.

Thanks for the replies!
Good call kevinkr...
Just trying to identify. I scavenged it out of a Sony clock radio. At first I was thinking it was a square capacitor but of course it couldnt be having 3 pins. Then possibly a crystal of some sort.

It looks a bit like a Toko part number. It is a 455 kHz ceramic filter.
AM radio uses a 455 kHz IF centre frequency

Awesome. Thanks for the info! Now... what to make with it? 🙂
