2082-6041-06-CRYO

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-6041-06-CRYO is a connectorized RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It features SMA male-to-female connectors and provides a fixed attenuation value of 6dB. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2W. The physical length of the module is specified as 21.8 mm. This part is available in a cryogenic variant, suitable for specialized thermal environments.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 6dB attenuation performance across a wide bandwidth up to 18 GHz
• SMA male-to-female interconnect configuration for direct circuit integration
• Cryogenic design variant suitable for low-temperature operational conditions

Applications

• RF signal path conditioning in cryogenic measurement systems
• High-frequency test and measurement equipment requiring stable attenuation
• Satellite communication ground station components operating at low temperatures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cryogenic rating requirements against the manufacturer's datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector gender and impedance match the system interface. Ensure the 2W power limit is sufficient for the intended application signal levels. Check availability status as lead times may vary for specialized variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6dB loss is required in the 0-18 GHz band. Consider the 2W power handling capability relative to input signals. The SMA interface dictates compatibility with standard coaxial fixtures. The cryogenic designation indicates suitability for extreme cold environments compared to standard commercial grades.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Amphenol XMA series of connectorized attenuators. It shares the core electrical specifications of the standard 2082-6041-06 but includes modifications for cryogenic operation. The series offers various attenuation values and power ratings within the same form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the standard 2082-6041-06 if cryogenic performance is not required. Other Amphenol XMA models with matching 6dB attenuation and SMA interfaces may be compatible depending on power and frequency needs.
