2082-6418-00

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2082-6418-00 is an RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 0dB, effectively functioning as a pass-through component within signal chains. The device operates across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 18 GHz, ensuring broad bandwidth compatibility. It features a 50 Ohms impedance and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. The unit utilizes SMA connectors in an inline module configuration, facilitating direct integration into coaxial systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides zero-decibel attenuation for signal transparency
• Operates up to 18 GHz frequency range
• Supports 2W power handling at 50 Ohms impedance

Applications

• RF signal chain pass-through modules
• Test and measurement reference paths
• Calibration standards for vector network analyzers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix when ordering, as variants such as -CRYO exist for specialized environmental conditions. Confirm that the standard 0dB version meets your thermal and mechanical requirements. Check manufacturer documentation for detailed electrical specifications and connector gender configurations to ensure system compatibility before purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-intrusive connection solution is required within an 18 GHz system. Ensure the application does not exceed the 2W power limit. Compare with other series members if higher attenuation values or different power ratings are needed. Verify SMA connector compatibility with existing cable assemblies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol XMA 2082 series of RF attenuators. The series includes various attenuation values and power ratings, all sharing the same SMA inline form factor and 18 GHz frequency capability. This specific model represents the baseline zero-loss option within that product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0dB SMA inline modules from Amphenol XMA, such as the 2082-6418-00-CRYO for cryogenic environments. Cross-brand replacements must match the 50 Ohm impedance, 18 GHz upper frequency limit, and 2W power rating.
