4882-6040-30-CRYO

Attenuators Overview

The Amphenol XMA 4882-6040-30-CRYO is a connectorized RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It features a 2.92mm male-to-female interface and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 40 GHz. The component provides a fixed attenuation value of 30 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. It supports a maximum power handling capacity of 0.5 W (500 mW). The physical construction includes a round stainless steel body, measuring approximately 23.11 mm in length. This model is specifically engineered for cryogenic environments, indicated by the CRYO suffix.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Engineered for operation in cryogenic temperature environments
• Fixed 30 dB attenuation performance across a wide bandwidth
• Constructed with a durable stainless steel cylindrical housing

Attenuators Applications

• Cryogenic test and measurement setups
• High-frequency signal conditioning in low-temperature systems
• RF circuit protection in specialized scientific instrumentation

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific CRYO designation is required for your thermal environment, as standard variants lack this specification. Confirm that the 0.5 W power rating aligns with your system's peak power levels to prevent damage. Ensure the 2.92mm connector gender matches your existing cabling infrastructure. Check current supply status, as availability may vary due to specialized manufacturing requirements.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when both high-frequency performance up to 40 GHz and cryogenic compatibility are mandatory. Compare against standard 4882 series models if thermal conditions do not require specialized materials. Consider the 0.5 W power limit relative to other attenuators in the family, such as those rated for 2 W, if higher power dissipation is needed. Verify impedance matching for 50 Ohm systems.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA 4882 series of connectorized attenuators. It shares the 2.92mm interface and 40 GHz frequency capability with other models in the line but differs in power handling and environmental ratings. Unlike the 2W rated variants, this unit is optimized for lower power applications requiring extreme cold stability.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 2.92mm attenuators from the same manufacturer with identical 30 dB values and cryogenic ratings. Cross-reference with models sharing the 4882 prefix and CRYO suffix. Ensure any replacement maintains the 0.5 W power rating and 50 Ohm impedance.
