FMAT7429-0

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7429-0 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for high-frequency signal management. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 40 GHz and provides a nominal attenuation of 0 dB. The component features 2.92mm connectors, configured as a male plug to female jack interface. It is rated for a maximum power handling of 0.5 Watts and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.3. The unit utilizes a passivated stainless steel body and weighs approximately 170.097 grams.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Utilizes 2.92mm connector interface for high-frequency stability up to 40 GHz
• Constructed with a passivated stainless steel body for durability
• Provides precise 0 dB attenuation with low VSWR characteristics

Attenuators Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement setups requiring signal integrity
• RF circuit design and prototyping environments
• Signal path calibration in microwave systems

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration and power rating against system requirements before integration. Confirm that the 0.5 Watt power handling capacity aligns with operational signal levels. Ensure compatibility with 2.92mm mating interfaces to maintain optimal VSWR performance. Check manufacturer documentation for any updates regarding material specifications or environmental operating limits.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 0 dB insertion loss is required within a 2.92mm system architecture. Consider the 0.5 Watt power limit for applications involving moderate signal levels. Evaluate the 40 GHz frequency capability against system bandwidth needs. Compare physical dimensions and weight constraints if space is limited in the assembly.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave series of connectorized attenuators. It serves as an interconnect component within RF and microwave assemblies. The product line focuses on providing reliable signal attenuation and impedance matching solutions using precision connector types.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0 dB fixed attenuators with 2.92mm connectors from Fairview Microwave, such as the FMAT7430-0. Verify that alternative parts match the 40 GHz frequency range and 0.5 Watt power rating to ensure functional equivalence.
