8582-6150-30

Attenuators Overview

The Amphenol XMA 8582-6150-30 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 30dB across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 50 GHz. The component operates at a maximum power handling capacity of 1W and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It features 2.4mm connectors, with a male interface on one side and a female interface on the other. This non-cryogenic in-line module is suitable for signal control in microwave systems requiring precise attenuation within the specified bandwidth.

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 8582-6150-30 to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector gender orientation. Ensure that the 2.4mm mating requirements align with existing system infrastructure. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your deployment. Confirm that the 1W power rating meets the thermal and electrical demands of your operational environment without derating.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30dB reduction is required in the 50 GHz spectrum. The 2.4mm interface offers superior performance compared to SMA types at higher frequencies. Consider the physical size constraints as connectorized attenuators occupy more space than surface-mount alternatives. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm specification to minimize reflection losses and maintain signal integrity across the wide bandwidth.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Amphenol XMA series of connectorized attenuators. These components are engineered for stability and precision in RF environments. The 8582-6150-30 specifically addresses needs for high-frequency attenuation where standard coaxial connectors may exhibit excessive loss or mode conversion. It serves as a passive linear device essential for managing signal strength in complex microwave architectures.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 30dB attenuation, 50 GHz limit, and 2.4mm connector configuration. Verify that alternative parts support the same 1W power rating and 50 Ohm impedance. Mechanical compatibility of the 2.4mm m/f interface is critical for seamless integration into existing test fixtures or production lines.
