Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cryogenic rating and connector gender compatibility before integration. Confirm that the 2W power handling meets system requirements under operating conditions. Check manufacturer documentation for thermalization specifications relevant to your specific temperature range. Ensure SMA interface matches existing test fixtures.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 3dB attenuation is required in the 0-18 GHz range for cryogenic applications. Consider the SMA interface and 50 Ohm impedance for standard RF setups. Evaluate the 2W power limit against signal levels. Compare with other CRYO series variants if different attenuation values or power ratings are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol XMA Cryogenic Attenuator series, which includes linear passive transmission line components. These parts are engineered to lower input power in matched systems while maintaining electrical characteristics at extremely low temperatures. The series offers various shapes and materials to accommodate diverse experimental configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with different attenuation values such as 2082-6418-06-CRYO (6dB) or 2082-6418-10-CRYO (10dB). Verify that any replacement maintains the 0-18 GHz frequency range and 2W power handling capability. Ensure the SMA connector type remains compatible with the host system.
