Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this item may be subject to special order requirements. Confirm specific manufacturing lead times directly with the supplier or authorized distributors. Ensure that the SMA connector gender and polarity match your system interface needs before finalizing procurement orders.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 2 dB loss is required across the DC-18 GHz spectrum. The SMA interface ensures compatibility with standard coaxial systems. Consider the 2 W power rating for thermal management in high-power environments. Verify operating temperature limits against application constraints.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the ATT-0523 series of connectorized attenuators. It shares the same form factor and interface type as other variants in the series, differing primarily in attenuation values. The series is designed for reliable performance in demanding RF environments with consistent electrical characteristics.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ATT-0523-04-SMA-02, ATT-0523-05-SMA-02, ATT-0523-07-SMA-02, and ATT-0523-08-SMA-02. These parts share identical physical dimensions, SMA connectors, and frequency ranges but offer different fixed attenuation values ranging from 4 dB to 8 dB.
