Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision, currently listed as Rev. H, against your design requirements. Confirm that the BNC male-to-female configuration matches your cable assembly needs. Ensure the 1W power rating and 4 GHz upper frequency limit are sufficient for your operational environment. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB reduction is required between 0 Hz and 4 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance must match the system characteristic impedance. Consider the BNC interface type for compatibility with existing connectors. Evaluate the 1W power handling capability against peak signal levels. The wide operating temperature range suits harsh environments including aerospace and industrial settings.
