ATT-0290-11-HEX-02

Attenuators Overview

The ATT-0290-11-HEX-02 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides an attenuation value of 11 dB with a frequency range extending from DC to 18 GHz. The component features HEX single-row module packaging and SMA connectors in a male/female configuration. It supports a maximum power rating of 2 W and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 11 dB signal attenuation across a wide DC to 18 GHz bandwidth
• Utilizes HEX single-row module housing for compact integration
• Equipped with SMA male/female connectors for standard interconnect compatibility

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Wireless communication system signal conditioning
• Microwave circuit board level attenuation

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and compliance documentation directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector gender and HEX module dimensions match the target PCB or fixture requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -65°C to +125°C temperature range to maintain performance integrity.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 11 dB attenuation is required up to 18 GHz. Compare against the ATT-0290 series variants for different attenuation values or connector types. Consider the 2W power handling capability relative to the application's signal levels. Verify that the HEX module form factor fits within the available space constraints of the design.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the ATT-0290 series of connectorized attenuators from Midwest Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values and connector options, including SMA and HEX modules. These components are designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable performance over broad microwave frequencies.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ATT-0290-xx-HEX-02 variants with matching 11 dB attenuation. Cross-reference with ATT-0292 series if lower frequency operation (up to 8 GHz) is acceptable. Verify electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
