2682-6460-06

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 2682-6460-06 is a precision RF attenuator designed for high-frequency signal control. It features an SMA male-to-female connector interface and provides a fixed attenuation value of 6dB. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 26.5 GHz and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2W. The device is constructed in an inline module format with a hexagonal round body, suitable for direct integration into RF transmission lines.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 6dB signal attenuation across a wide bandwidth up to 26.5 GHz
• Features robust SMA male-to-female connectors for reliable inline connection
• Designed with a hexagonal round stainless steel housing for mechanical stability

Applications

• High-frequency RF test and measurement equipment
• Microwave communication systems requiring signal level adjustment
• Embedded systems needing precise signal control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix when ordering, as cryogenic variants exist (e.g., -CRYO). Confirm that the standard version meets your thermal requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA interfaces. Check datasheet for detailed environmental specifications. Validate part number accuracy against manufacturer documentation before purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. Consider the 2W power rating for system power levels. The SMA interface dictates connector compatibility. Compare with other models in the series if different attenuation values or power ratings are needed. Verify physical dimensions for space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA line of RF and microwave components. These components are engineered for reliable signal control across various frequencies. The product line includes attenuators, connectors, and related interconnects. This specific model represents a standard inline attenuator solution within their portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 6dB SMA attenuators from Amphenol XMA with similar frequency and power ratings. Verify electrical parameters such as VSWR and insertion loss match. Physical compatibility must be confirmed. Consult official cross-reference lists for approved replacements.
