Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number ATT-0290-09-SMA-02 against official Cinch Connectivity Solutions documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the SMA connector type and 9 dB attenuation value match specific design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability may vary.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 9 dB attenuation is required up to 18 GHz. Ensure the system power levels do not exceed the 2W rating. Verify that SMA connectors are compatible with the existing circuit board or cable assembly. Consider the operating temperature range if the environment exceeds standard commercial limits.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the ATT-0290 series of fixed attenuators from Midwest Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values and frequency ranges. The ATT-0290-09-SMA-02 specifically targets high-frequency applications requiring precise signal reduction within the 18 GHz bandwidth.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ATT-0290 series variants with different attenuation values but identical SMA connectors and frequency ranges, such as ATT-0290-06-SMA-02 or ATT-0290-20-SMA-02. Cross-brand replacements must match the 9 dB attenuation, DC-18 GHz range, 2W power rating, and SMA interface.
