ATT-0294-20-SMA-02

Attenuators Overview

The ATT-0294-20-SMA-02 is a fixed coaxial attenuator from the Midwest Microwave ATT-0294 series, manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions. It provides a nominal attenuation of 20 dB across a frequency range from DC to 2 GHz. The device features SMA male-to-female connectors and is rated for a maximum power handling of 2 W. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. This component is designed as an inline module for RF signal reduction in high-frequency applications.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 20 dB signal attenuation
• Operates from DC up to 2 GHz
• Features SMA male/female interconnects
• Rated for 2 W power handling

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment
• Signal conditioning in communication systems
• Attenuation stages in microwave circuits

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number ATT-0294-20-SMA-02 against official Cinch Connectivity Solutions documentation to ensure compliance with required electrical specifications. Confirm connector gender orientation and power ratings match system requirements before procurement.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB attenuation is required within the 2 GHz bandwidth. Ensure the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to +125°C. Verify that the 2 W power rating exceeds the maximum expected signal power in the circuit.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the ATT-0294 series of connectorized attenuators. It is distinct from other series like ATT-0238 or ATT-0292 due to its specific 2 GHz frequency limit and 20 dB attenuation value. The SMA interface ensures compatibility with standard RF infrastructure.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ATT-0294-20-SMA-01 if pinout variations exist, though verification is required. Cross-series replacements like ATT-0238-20-SMA-02 offer similar attenuation but differ in frequency range (DC-4 GHz). Always validate mechanical and electrical parameters against original design specs.
