FMAT7396-4

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7396-4 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for radio frequency applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 4 dB with an impedance of 75 Ohms. The device features F-type connectors, specifically F Male to F Female configuration. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and has a power rating of 2 Watts. The unit utilizes a brass tri-metal body construction. Key electrical specifications include a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.3:1. The component measures 51.31 mm in length and weighs approximately 45.36 grams. It functions reliably within a temperature range of -55°C to +80°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Constructs signal attenuation using a brass tri-metal body for durability
• Connects via standard F-type male to female interfaces
• Maintains consistent performance up to 3 GHz frequency

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal distribution systems requiring 75 Ohm impedance
• Video transmission equipment interfacing
• Cable television infrastructure testing

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the system requirements before integration. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits to ensure longevity. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment location. Ensure the power handling capacity aligns with the maximum signal levels present in the circuit path to prevent damage.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 75 Ohm impedance match is required rather than the more common 50 Ohm standard. Consider the physical dimensions and weight constraints for installation spaces. Evaluate the frequency range to ensure it covers the operational spectrum without significant deviation from the nominal attenuation value. Assess the mechanical robustness provided by the brass construction against vibration or handling stresses.
