3082-7550-18-40

Overview

The Amphenol XMA 3082-7550-18-40 is a non-cryogenic RF attenuator designed for interconnect applications. It features N-type male-to-female connectors and provides a fixed attenuation value of 40dB. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 50W, making it suitable for high-power signal management in radio frequency systems.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 40dB attenuation level for precise signal reduction
• N-type connector interface ensuring reliable mechanical connection
• High power handling capability of 50W for robust operation
• Broadband performance extending from DC to 18 GHz

Applications

• Radio frequency signal conditioning in test and measurement equipment
• High-power communication system signal attenuation
• Non-cryogenic RF circuit integration requiring stable impedance
• Signal level adjustment in microwave transmission lines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and connector gender configuration against project requirements before procurement. Confirm that the non-cryogenic design aligns with the operational thermal environment. Check current supply status as availability may vary due to manufacturing lead times or distribution constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type mating hardware in the assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 40dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 50W power rating distinguishes it from lower-power SMA or 2.92mm variants. Consider the physical size and weight implications of the N-type form factor compared to smaller connectors. Ensure the application does not require cryogenic cooling, as this unit is specified for non-cryogenic use only.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Amphenol XMA Omni Spectra series of non-cryogenic attenuators. The series offers various frequency ratings including 18GHz, 26GHz, and higher options. The 3082-7550-18-40 specifically utilizes N-type connectors, differing from other series members that may use SMA or 2.92mm interfaces. It is categorized under connectorized attenuators for interconnect applications.
