AM2500AT031-NMF

Overview

The AM2500AT031-NMF is an in-line RF attenuator module manufactured by Anatech Microwave Company. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 30dB across a frequency range from 0 Hz to 2.5 GHz. The component operates with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a power handling capacity of 50W. It utilizes N-Type connectors for interface connections and is housed in a modular package design suitable for high-power microwave applications.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 30dB attenuation performance
• Broadband operation from DC to 2.5 GHz
• High power handling capability at 50W
• Standard 50 Ohm impedance matching

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement setups
• Power management in microwave transmission lines
• Signal conditioning in communication systems
• Attenuation stages in radar equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and mating requirements against your system interface before procurement. Confirm that the 50W power rating aligns with peak and average power levels in your application. Ensure the N-Type connection type matches existing cabling infrastructure. Request detailed datasheets for precise VSWR and insertion loss specifications if critical performance margins are required.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30dB attenuation is required within the DC to 2.5 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 50W power handling limit to ensure thermal stability under continuous operation. The 50 Ohm impedance ensures compatibility with standard RF systems. Evaluate the modular form factor for integration into existing chassis or rack-mounted assemblies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AM2500 series of attenuators from Anatech Microwave Company, designed for broadband microwave applications. The series typically offers various attenuation values and power ratings within the same frequency envelope. The NMF suffix likely denotes specific mechanical or connector variations within the product line, consistent with other models like the AM2500T250-NMF terminator.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative attenuators based on identical electrical parameters: 30dB attenuation, DC-2.5 GHz range, 50W power, and N-Type connectors.
