ATT-0290-00-SMA-02

Attenuators Overview

The ATT-0290-00-SMA-02 is a connectorized attenuator from the ATT-0290 series manufactured by Midwest Microwave / Cinch Connectivity Solutions. It provides 0 dB attenuation with a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. The component features SMA male/female connectors and has a power rating of 2 W. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides zero decibel signal attenuation for inline circuit applications
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum up to 18 GHz
• Constructed with SMA male and female interconnects

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal path calibration
• Test and measurement equipment
• Communication system integration

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as the product is listed under both Midwest Microwave and Cinch Connectivity Solutions. Confirm the SMA connector gender configuration matches the Male/Female specification in technical documentation. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -65°C to +125°C thermal limits defined in the datasheet.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 0 dB insertion loss is required without altering signal amplitude. The 18 GHz bandwidth supports high-frequency RF applications. Verify that the 2 W power handling capacity meets the system requirements. The SMA interface ensures compatibility with standard coaxial connections.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the ATT-0290 series of connectorized attenuators. The series includes variants with different attenuation values, such as 2 dB and 7 dB models, all sharing similar SMA interfaces and frequency ranges up to 18 GHz. The series is designed for reliable performance in embedded RF environments.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ATT-0290 series models like ATT-0290-02-SMA-02 or ATT-0290-07-SMA-02 if non-zero attenuation is acceptable. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering 0 dB SMA inline modules rated for 18 GHz and 2 W.
