ATT-0298-02-HEX-02

Attenuators Overview

The ATT-0298-02-HEX-02 is an RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 2dB within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 26.5 GHz. The component features a HEX in-line module package and supports a power rating of 2W. It utilizes SMA connectors for interface connectivity.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 2dB attenuation across a wide DC to 26.5 GHz bandwidth
• Utilizes HEX in-line module packaging for robust mechanical integration
• Supports 2W power handling capacity for high-power RF applications

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in microwave test and measurement systems
• Attenuation stages in wireless communication infrastructure
• Signal conditioning in radar and electronic warfare equipment

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (male/female) required for your system integration, as datasheets may list both options within the series. Confirm that the 2W power rating aligns with your peak and average power requirements. Ensure the HEX module form factor fits your physical mounting constraints. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 2dB reduction is needed at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. The HEX package offers a compact solution compared to larger flange-mounted attenuators. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with your existing cabling and fixture infrastructure. Evaluate the 2W power limit against your system's maximum output to prevent thermal damage or performance degradation during operation.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the ATT-0298 series of connectorized attenuators from Midwest Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values and package types, including SMA and HEX modules. These components are designed for high-reliability applications requiring stable performance over a broad microwave frequency range.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other ATT-0298 series variants with matching 2dB attenuation and HEX packaging, such as ATT-0298-02-SMA-02 if connector type flexibility exists. Verify electrical specifications and physical dimensions before substitution.
