AT-185-01-10

Attenuators Overview

The Maury Microwave AT-185-01-10 is a fixed coaxial attenuator designed for precision RF and millimeter-wave applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component supports a frequency range from DC to 65 GHz and handles a maximum power rating of 1 Watt. It utilizes 1.85mm connectors, featuring male and female interfaces to facilitate signal reduction without distorting waveform quality.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Maintains signal integrity by reducing power levels without distorting the RF or microwave waveform
• Constructed with MIL-spec pin depth and concentricity for high precision and reliability
• Features color-coded housing to enable quick visual identification during testing setups

Attenuators Applications

• Precision calibration of RF measurement systems
• Characterization of semiconductor devices in high-frequency environments
• Validation of wireless communication infrastructure including 5G components

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific unit matches the 1.85mm connector interface and 10 dB attenuation specification. Confirm the manufacturer is Maury Microwave to ensure compliance with MIL-spec construction standards. Check for any required calibration certificates if the application demands traceable performance data for aerospace or defense validation.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB reduction is required within the 65 GHz bandwidth. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm standard. Consider the 1 Watt power limit for thermal management. This component is suitable for applications requiring stable attenuation without active control mechanisms.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Maury Microwave AT Series of fixed coaxial attenuators. The series includes various attenuation values and connector types, such as 2.4mm and SMA variants. The AT-185-01-10 specifically addresses the need for high-frequency precision using the 1.85mm interface standard.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Maury Microwave AT-185-01-20 offers 20 dB attenuation with identical interface specifications. Other models in the series include AT-24-01-03 (3 dB, 2.4mm) and AT-24-01-06 (6 dB, 2.4mm). Verify connector gender and frequency limits before substituting.
