2082-6340-00-CRYO

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-6340-00-CRYO is a cryogenic connectorized attenuator designed for linear, passive transmission line applications. It features SMA male-to-female interfaces and operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. The component supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2W and provides an attenuation value of 0dB. Constructed as a matched system component, it is engineered to lower input power in high-frequency environments while maintaining impedance stability.

Feature Summary

• Designed for cryogenic operational environments
• Linear passive transmission line functionality
• SMA male-to-female connector interface

Applications

• Cryogenic signal testing systems
• High-frequency measurement setups
• Passive power reduction in matched RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cryogenic rating and SMA interface compatibility with your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 0dB attenuation specification meets your circuit design needs, as this indicates a through-line configuration rather than signal reduction. Ensure the 2W power limit aligns with your operational parameters to prevent component damage during high-power transmission scenarios.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cryogenic-rated attenuator with SMA connections is required for frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 0dB specification suggests it functions primarily as a precision pass-through or reference element in matched systems. Consider the 2W power handling capability relative to your signal levels. Verify that the bulk packaging format suits your assembly process and storage conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA Cryogenic Attenuators series, which are specialized linear, passive transmission line components. These devices are specifically engineered to lower input power in matched systems under extreme cold conditions. The series focuses on high-frequency performance with standardized connector interfaces to ensure reliable integration into complex RF test and measurement infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. When seeking alternatives, prioritize components with identical SMA-m/f interfaces, 18 GHz maximum frequency, and cryogenic certification. Ensure any replacement matches the 2W power handling and 50 Ohm impedance specifications to maintain system integrity.
