Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' against the manufacturer's latest documentation, as it may indicate a tape-and-reel packaging configuration or a specific plating variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and MSL rating prior to ordering. Check for any recent PCN notices regarding material changes that could affect solderability or long-term reliability in high-volume production environments.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 5 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system. Ensure the operating frequency does not exceed 3 GHz to maintain specified performance. The 63 mW power rating limits its use in high-power applications; verify thermal dissipation requirements for the target circuit design before implementation.
