2082-5026-00-CRYO

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-5026-00-CRYO is an RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 0dB within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohms impedance and supports a power handling capacity of 2W. It utilizes SMA male-to-female connectors in an inline module configuration. This specific variant includes the CRYO suffix, indicating suitability for cryogenic environments.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a zero-decibel attenuator maintaining signal integrity across a broad frequency spectrum up to 18 GHz.
• Engineered with SMA interconnects for reliable inline module integration in RF systems.
• Constructed to withstand cryogenic operating conditions while maintaining specified electrical performance.

Applications

• Cryogenic radio frequency test and measurement setups
• Low-noise amplifier characterization in extreme temperature environments
• Superconducting circuit testing and validation

Procurement Notes

Verify the CRYO designation confirms cryogenic compatibility requirements for your specific application environment. Ensure that the SMA connector gender and inline form factor align with your system's physical interface constraints. Confirm that the 2W power rating and 0dB attenuation meet your signal chain specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-attenuating link is required at cryogenic temperatures. The 0dB value distinguishes it from standard attenuators in the 2082 series. Consider the 18 GHz bandwidth limit and 50 Ohm impedance match for compatibility with existing RF infrastructure. The inline module design facilitates easy insertion into transmission lines without complex mounting hardware.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA 2082 series of connectorized attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values and power ratings. The CRYO suffix specifically denotes variants tested or rated for operation in cryogenic conditions, differentiating them from standard room-temperature models within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0dB attenuators from the Amphenol XMA 2082 series with the CRYO suffix, such as 2082-5026-00-CRYO equivalents. Verify that any replacement maintains the SMA M/F interface, 18 GHz frequency range, and 2W power handling capability to ensure functional interchangeability.
