3082-7550-18-03

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 3082-7550-18-03 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-power applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 3 dB with a frequency range extending from DC to 18 GHz. The component operates at a 50 Ohm impedance and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 50 Watts. It utilizes N-Type connectors in an inline module configuration, featuring a male-to-female interface. The unit measures 120.65 mm in length and is packaged individually.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-power operation up to 50 Watts
• Wideband frequency coverage from DC to 18 GHz
• Fixed 3 dB attenuation value
• N-Type connectorized inline module design

Applications

• High-power RF signal testing and measurement systems
• Microwave communication equipment requiring precise signal reduction
• Radar system signal conditioning
• Amplifier output stage protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Amphenol XMA documentation to confirm technical specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing N-Type interfaces and power requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status and export control classifications such as ECCN EAR99 prior to procurement. Confirm packaging details match operational needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3 dB attenuation is required for signals up to 18 GHz. The 50 Watt power rating distinguishes it from lower-power variants like the 2W or 10W models in the series. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm specification. Consider the physical dimensions and inline form factor for integration into the RF chain.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Amphenol XMA line of connectorized RF attenuators. It shares the same frequency range and connector type as other models in the series but differs in attenuation value and power handling capabilities. The product is manufactured by Amphenol XMA and is classified under RF and wireless attenuators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with different attenuation values or power ratings, such as 3082-7550-18-06 (6 dB) or 3082-7550-18-10 (10 dB). Verify that any replacement maintains the 50 Watt power handling and 18 GHz frequency limit.
