ATS2012-2DB-T05

Attenuators Overview

The Susumu ATS2012-2DB-T05 is a fixed thin-film chip attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 2 dB with a maximum operating frequency of 30 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and a power rating of 100 mW. Housed in an 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount package, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The device exhibits a maximum VSWR of 1.4 and supports DC to 30 GHz bandwidth.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Thin-film construction ensures stable performance across wide frequency ranges up to 30 GHz.
• Compact 0805 surface-mount footprint facilitates automated assembly and space-constrained designs.
• High thermal stability allows reliable operation in extreme environmental conditions.

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal conditioning in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise attenuation
• Microwave circuit design for signal level adjustment

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T05 corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the 0805 package dimensions align with your PCB land pattern specifications. Ensure the 100 mW power rating meets the thermal requirements of your application environment. Check RoHS compliance documentation if restricted substances are a constraint for your manufacturing process.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile 0805 attenuator is required for frequencies up to 30 GHz. Compare against other ATS series variants if different attenuation values or higher power ratings are needed. Consider the PAT series if lower cost is prioritized over ultra-high frequency performance. Verify impedance matching requirements for your specific 50 Ohm system architecture.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Susumu ATS series of high-frequency chip attenuators. The series utilizes thin-film technology to achieve consistent electrical characteristics. The ATS2012 designation indicates the 0805 physical size. The 2DB suffix specifies the 2 dB attenuation value. This series is engineered for demanding RF and microwave applications.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

ATS2012-3DB-T05 offers identical form factor with 3 dB attenuation. ATS2012-4DB-T05 provides 4 dB attenuation in the same package. For lower attenuation, consider ATS2012-1DB-T05. These parts share the same physical dimensions and mounting requirements.
