375BNM

Overview

The L3 Narda-MITEQ 375BNM is a coaxial RF termination designed for frequencies ranging from DC to 18 GHz. It features a Type N male connector interface and supports a continuous power handling capacity of 10 Watts, with a peak power rating of 5 kW. The component is constructed as a fixed, non-adjustable load suitable for high-frequency signal applications requiring stable impedance matching.

Feature Summary

• Fixed coaxial termination design for broadband frequency coverage
• High peak power handling capability up to 5 kW
• Type N male connector interface for secure mating

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment loads
• Microwave system termination and calibration
• Signal generator output stabilization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and power ratings against application requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 10W continuous and 5kW peak limits align with system thermal constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing Type N male interfaces in the signal chain.

Selection Notes

Select this component when broadband operation up to 18 GHz is required alongside moderate power dissipation needs. Consider the physical size and thermal management capabilities relative to the enclosure environment. Compare against lower-power alternatives if peak power demands are significantly reduced.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Narda-MITEQ family of coaxial terminations, which includes variants like the 376BNM offering higher power ratings. These components are standard passive elements used to absorb RF energy without reflection, ensuring system integrity in microwave circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Type N male terminations within the same frequency range. Verify equivalent power handling and VSWR specifications. Cross-reference with manufacturer datasheets for mechanical dimensions to ensure fitment in existing assemblies.
