AT-185-01-20

Attenuators Overview

The Maury Microwave AT-185-01-20 is a fixed coaxial attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It features 1.85mm male-to-female connectors and provides a nominal attenuation of 20 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of DC to 65 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 1 Watt. Constructed for precision calibration and measurement, it ensures signal integrity in RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave systems without distorting the transmitted signal.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal reduction for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequencies
• Features 1.85mm male-to-female connector interface for secure mating
• Supports operation from DC up to 65 GHz with 1W power handling

Attenuators Applications

• Precision calibration of test and measurement equipment
• Characterization of semiconductor devices and components
• Validation of wireless communication technologies including 5G infrastructure

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (male-to-female) and physical dimensions against your test setup requirements before ordering. Ensure that the 1.85mm interface compatibility matches your existing fixture or cable assembly. Confirm that the 1W power rating is sufficient for your application's signal levels to prevent damage. Request the certificate of conformance provided with each unit to validate performance specifications upon receipt.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 20 dB fixed attenuation value is required at frequencies extending to 65 GHz. The 1.85mm connector type is chosen for its superior performance over smaller interfaces like SMA or 2.4mm at higher frequencies. Consider the 1W power limit when designing circuits with high-power signals. This component is suitable for environments requiring stable, non-adjustable signal reduction without introducing distortion.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to Maury Microwave's AT Series of fixed coaxial attenuators. The series includes various models with different attenuation values and connector types, such as 2.4mm and SMA options. These products are engineered for precision measurement solutions across aerospace, defense, and telecommunications sectors, offering reliable performance for complex system testing and development.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should verify exact electrical and mechanical specifications if considering alternative manufacturers. Direct replacement requires matching the 1.85mm connector interface, 20 dB attenuation value, and 65 GHz frequency range precisely.
