05AS102-K10S3

Overview

The Rosenberger 05AS102-K10S3 is a connectorized attenuator designed for RF interconnect applications. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 10 dB with a tolerance of ±0.5 dB. The component operates at an impedance of 50 Ohms and supports frequencies up to 18 GHz. It features a male-to-female configuration, allowing inline integration into coaxial systems. The unit has a power rating of 2 W and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 10 dB signal attenuation for RF circuit calibration
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 18 GHz
• Features gold-plated center conductors for reliable signal transmission
• Designed for inline installation in 50 Ohm coaxial systems

Applications

• Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) calibration setups
• RF test and measurement equipment
• Signal path attenuation in communication systems
• Laboratory bench testing environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix K10S3 against the manufacturer's current product catalog to ensure compatibility with required connector types and tolerances. Confirm that the 18 GHz frequency limit and 2 W power rating meet system requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status and lead time availability as this component may be subject to specific manufacturing schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 10 dB fixed attenuation is required in a 50 Ohm environment. Ensure the application does not exceed the 2 W power handling capacity or the 18 GHz upper frequency limit. Consider the physical dimensions and male-to-female interface for proper integration into existing cable assemblies or test fixtures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Rosenberger RPC-N series of connectorized attenuators. These components are engineered for precision RF applications requiring stable attenuation values across wide bandwidths. The series is commonly used in high-frequency testing where signal integrity and minimal reflection are critical for accurate measurements.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Rosenberger catalog for direct substitutes with identical electrical specifications. Verify that any alternative maintains the 10 dB nominal value, 50 Ohm impedance, and 18 GHz frequency range. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing N-type interfaces before substitution.
