2082-6241-06-CRYO

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-6241-06-CRYO is a cryogenic RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 6dB with an impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 18 GHz and supports a power rating of 2W. It utilizes SMA connectors in a male-to-female configuration within an inline module package.

Feature Summary

• Cryogenic thermalization methods for stable performance at low temperatures
• Tight tolerancing for precise attenuation control
• SMA connector interface for reliable signal transmission

Applications

• Cryogenic measurement systems
• Low-temperature RF testing environments
• Space simulation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cryogenic variant suffix against official Amphenol XMA documentation to ensure compatibility with extreme temperature requirements. Confirm that the 2W power rating and 6dB attenuation meet system specifications. Check for RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification status prior to ordering to ensure regulatory adherence.

Selection Notes

Select this component when fixed 6dB attenuation is required in cryogenic environments up to 18 GHz. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance matches the system architecture. Verify that the 2W power handling capacity exceeds maximum operational levels. Consider the SMA inline form factor for integration constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA cryogenic attenuator series, which features specialized thermalization techniques. These components are engineered for stability under extreme cold conditions, distinguishing them from standard room-temperature attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values and power ratings tailored for scientific and aerospace applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Amphenol XMA cryogenic models such as 2082-6042-10-CRYO or 2082-6241-06, provided they match the 6dB attenuation, 2W power, and SMA interface requirements. Verify electrical parameters and physical dimensions before substitution.
