4880-5523-00-CRYO

Attenuators Overview

The Amphenol XMA 4880-5523-00-CRYO is a precision RF attenuator designed for cryogenic environments. It features a 2.92mm female-to-female interface and operates from DC to 18 GHz. The component provides 0 dB attenuation with a power handling capacity of 1W and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Designed specifically for extreme low-temperature applications including dilution refrigerators and cryostats
• Utilizes a robust 2.92mm connector interface for high-frequency signal integrity
• Engineered as an inline module for precise calibration in quantum computing setups

Attenuators Applications

• Calibration of measurement systems within dilution refrigerators
• Signal conditioning in cryostat test environments
• Quantum computing hardware characterization at millikelvin temperatures

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify availability through authorized distributors as supply may be restricted. Confirm the specific CRYO suffix indicates the required cryogenic rating for your application. Ensure compatibility with existing 2.92mm fixtures before ordering.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when zero attenuation is required in sub-zero environments. Compare against standard room-temperature variants if thermal performance is not critical. Ensure the 1W power limit aligns with system signal levels.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to Amphenol XMA's specialized line of cryogenic interconnects. These parts are engineered to maintain electrical stability under thermal stress, distinguishing them from standard RF components used in ambient conditions.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Amphenol XMA models with the CRYO suffix and identical 2.92mm interfaces. Verify that any replacement matches the 18 GHz frequency range and 1W power handling specifications.
