AT-206(40)

Attenuators Overview

The AT-206(40) is a fixed attenuator of the SMA type manufactured by Hirose Electric. It features a compact and durable structure utilizing stainless steel for the external cladding. The coupling portions are available in all types of plug and jack combinations to suit various interface requirements. The design employs a distributed constant circuit and metal film resistor to achieve high degree of matching, as indicated by the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). These components demonstrate stable characteristics across varying temperature, humidity, and gas environments.

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify component status before integration planning. The AT-206(40) is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Hirose Electric. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets. Ensure that any sourced units meet original specifications. Check for expiration or storage conditions if purchasing from non-original channels. Validate part authenticity against official datasheets.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when SMA interface compatibility is required alongside fixed attenuation. Consider the specific attenuation value needed, as variations exist from 0 to 30 dB. Evaluate environmental stability requirements for temperature, humidity, and gas exposure. Verify VSWR performance needs against the appended tables in the datasheet. Assess space constraints due to the small, durable structure.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the AT-206 series of fixed attenuators produced by Hirose Electric. The series offers abundant variations in attenuation amounts, allowing fine adjustment levels. It is categorized under RF interconnects and coaxial connectors within the manufacturer's portfolio. The product line supports diverse applications requiring reliable signal level control in harsh environments.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Parametric equivalents are available from other manufacturers such as Amphenol XMA. Review technical specifications carefully to ensure impedance and frequency range compatibility. Verify connector type and mating interface dimensions. Confirm attenuation accuracy and VSWR limits match system requirements.
