2082-6051C-10-CRYO

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-6051C-10-CRYO is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 10dB across a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. The component operates at a maximum power handling capacity of 1W and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It utilizes SMA male-to-female connectors for inline integration. The unit is constructed with copper materials and features a full hex body design, specifically engineered for cryogenic compatibility.

Feature Summary

• Supports operation from DC up to 18 GHz
• Compatible with cryogenic environments
• Features a full hex body for mechanical stability

Applications

• Cryogenic RF test and measurement systems
• Microwave signal conditioning in low-temperature setups
• Satellite communication ground stations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CRYO to ensure cryogenic compatibility requirements are met. Confirm that the SMA connector gender matches the system interface. Check manufacturer documentation for detailed thermal performance data under extreme cold conditions. Ensure the 1W power rating aligns with the application's signal levels.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 10dB fixed attenuation is required within an 18 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 1W power handling limit for signal strength. The cryogenic designation indicates suitability for sub-zero temperature operations. Verify the SMA interface type against existing hardware connections.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA series of connectorized attenuators. It is distinct from standard room-temperature models by its specialized construction for cryogenic use. The product line includes various attenuation values and power ratings, all sharing similar SMA interfaces and frequency ranges.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Amphenol XMA models with identical 10dB attenuation and cryogenic specifications. Cross-reference part numbers such as 2082-6051C-10 without the CRYO suffix only if environmental conditions do not require cryogenic support.
