2082-6051C-06-CRYO

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-6051C-06-CRYO is a cryogenic RF attenuator designed for extreme low-temperature environments. It features an SMA male-to-female in-line module configuration with a 50 Ohm impedance. The device provides a fixed attenuation value of 6dB and operates across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 18 GHz. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 1 Watt.

Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for operation within dilution refrigerators and cryostats
• Utilizes advanced thermalization methods to ensure stability at cryogenic temperatures
• Constructed with copper components for optimized thermal performance

Applications

• Quantum computing research systems
• Dilution refrigerator signal chains
• Cryostat-based measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 2082-6051C-06-CRYO model, as some distributor listings may display conflicting power ratings such as 2W or 10W which do not match the official product description. Confirm that the component meets the required thermal interface specifications for your specific cryogenic setup before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when integrating RF attenuation into sub-Kelvin environments where standard attenuators fail due to thermal stress. Ensure the SMA connector type matches your system's interconnect requirements and verify that the 1W power rating is sufficient for your signal levels within the cold stage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA Cryogenic Attenuator series, which offers various shapes and materials tailored for different cryogenic applications. The series emphasizes tight tolerancing and state-of-the-art thermalization to maintain electrical performance under extreme thermal gradients common in quantum experiments.

Replacement Considerations

Other models in the 2082-6051C series offer different attenuation values (e.g., 3dB, 6dB, 10dB) or power ratings. Verify if alternative part numbers like 2082-6041-06 are suitable, noting differences in power handling and construction materials.
