AM4000AT010-TNC-MF

Overview

The AM4000AT010-TNC-MF is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Anatech Microwave Company. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB across a frequency range of DC to 4 GHz. The component features a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and supports an average power handling capacity of 2 Watts. It utilizes TNC connectors for in-line module integration, ensuring reliable performance in microwave applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 10 dB attenuation for signal level control
• Operates from DC up to 4 GHz frequency range
• Designed for 50 Ohm system impedance compatibility
• Supports 2W average power handling capability

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal path protection in receiver front-ends
• Attenuation requirements in radar systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and mating interface details against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the 2W power rating aligns with your system's peak and average power requirements. Ensure the TNC connector type matches your existing cable infrastructure to prevent impedance mismatches or physical incompatibility issues during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB reduction is required within the DC-4 GHz band. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for standard RF environments. Evaluate the 2W power limit against maximum expected signal levels. Choose this model over adjustable variants if constant attenuation is sufficient for the design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AM4000 series of RF attenuators from Anatech Microwave Company. The series offers various attenuation values and frequency ranges. The AM4000AT010 specifically targets mid-band microwave applications requiring precise fixed attenuation. It complements other components like isolators and circulators in complete RF chain designs.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Check for compatible TNC-based attenuators with identical 10 dB attenuation, 50 Ohm impedance, and 4 GHz upper frequency limit. Verify mechanical dimensions and power ratings before substituting with generic equivalents.
