ATC2010CT-0200JN-93TR

Attenuators Overview

The ATC2010CT-0200JN-93TR is a surface mount RF chip attenuator from Vishay Barry. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and provides an attenuation value of 2 dB. The device features a power rating of 5 W and maintains a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. It utilizes an Al2O3 substrate and is housed in a 2010 package with castellated wraparound terminals.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Features castellated wraparound terminals for secure surface mount integration
• Utilizes Al2O3 substrate material for thermal stability
• Designed for high-power applications with a 5 W rating

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Power management in microwave circuits
• Attenuation stages in test and measurement equipment

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '93TR' confirms the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Ensure the Al2O3 substrate variant matches the thermal requirements of the target application, as other substrate options like AlN or BeO may be available in this series but differ in electrical properties.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2 dB attenuation value is required at frequencies up to 3 GHz. The 5 W power handling capability distinguishes it from lower-power variants. Confirm that the 2010 footprint dimensions align with the PCB layout constraints and that the 50 Ohm impedance matches the system transmission line characteristics.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the ATC Series of RF chip attenuators manufactured by Vishay Barry. The series offers various attenuation values and power ratings across 2010 and 2525 package sizes. The ATC2010CT-0200JN-93TR specifically addresses mid-range power needs with a compact surface mount form factor suitable for dense circuit designs.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Other parts in the ATC2010CT series offer different attenuation values such as 1 dB (ATC2010CT-0100JN-93TR) or 3 dB (ATC2010CT-0300JN-93TR). Substitutes must match the 5 W power rating and 3 GHz frequency limit. Verify if alternative substrates like AlN or BeO are acceptable for the specific thermal environment.
