Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific cryogenic rating and connector compatibility against your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 1W power limit and 40GHz frequency range align with your operational parameters. Ensure the 2.92mm interface matches your existing cabling infrastructure. Check for any specific handling instructions related to thermal cycling during installation.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10dB attenuation is required in a cryogenic environment up to 40GHz. The 2.92mm interface offers superior high-frequency performance compared to standard SMA connectors. Consider the 1W power handling capability relative to your signal levels. This model is suitable for applications where thermal stability and minimal VSWR are critical at millikelvin temperatures.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA Cryogenic Attenuator series, which includes various attenuation values and connector types. These components are designed to replace standard attenuators that fail or drift significantly at low temperatures. The series supports quantum research and advanced cryogenic testing by providing predictable RF behavior in extreme cold.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Amphenol XMA cryogenic attenuators with matching 2.92mm interfaces and similar frequency ranges. Verify that alternative models maintain the same 10dB attenuation and 1W power rating. Cross-reference connector gender and mating dimensions to ensure mechanical compatibility.
