FMAP1001-20

Attenuators Overview

The FMAP1001-20 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for radio frequency applications up to 6 GHz. It features a 4.3-10 male connector interface on one side and a 4.3-10 female connector on the other. The device provides a nominal attenuation value of 20 dB. It is rated to handle a maximum power input of 15 Watts. The component utilizes a robust construction suitable for high-frequency signal processing environments requiring precise signal level reduction.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 20 dB attenuation for consistent signal level management
• Features mixed gender 4.3-10 connectors for versatile interconnection
• Operates effectively within a frequency range extending up to 6 GHz
• Rated for continuous power handling of 15 Watts

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal chain attenuation in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment signal conditioning
• Antenna feed line power level adjustment
• Circuit protection via signal reduction

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches system requirements, as this model combines male and female interfaces. Confirm that the 15 Watt power rating aligns with peak operational loads. Ensure the 4.3-10 connector type is compatible with existing cabling infrastructure. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this attenuator when a precise 20 dB reduction is required at frequencies below 6 GHz. The mixed gender connector design simplifies direct connection between similar ports without additional adapters. Consider the 15 Watt power limit to prevent thermal damage during high-power transmission scenarios. This component is suitable for applications demanding stable attenuation performance across the specified bandwidth.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the family of fixed attenuators produced by Fairview Microwave. These components are engineered to provide reliable signal loss in RF circuits. The 4.3-10 connector series offers improved performance over standard SMA types, supporting higher frequencies and better shielding. Fixed attenuators like this model are essential for impedance matching and protecting sensitive downstream components from excessive signal power.
