Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as indicated by manufacturer documentation. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, noting potential regional sales restrictions. Ensure the specific cryogenic variant matches the thermal requirements of the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3 dB attenuation value is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 2.92 mm interface ensures compatibility with high-frequency test equipment. Verify that the 1 W power handling capacity meets the system's signal level constraints and that the physical dimensions fit the available space in the cryogenic assembly.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA cryogenic attenuator series, which includes various attenuation values and connector types. These components are engineered specifically for low-noise, low-temperature applications where standard RF components may fail or exhibit performance degradation due to thermal cycling and extreme cold conditions.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

The 4880-5523-20-CRYO is a documented alternative offering different attenuation characteristics while maintaining the same 2.92 mm interface and cryogenic design. Ensure the replacement matches the specific dB loss requirement of the circuit.
