FMAT7439N-60

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7439N-60 is a rotary step attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for interconnect applications. It features N-type female connectors on both ends and provides an attenuation range from 0 to 60 dB with 10 dB steps. The component is rated for up to 2 Watts of power handling and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz. Constructed with a passivated stainless steel body, it ensures durability in RF environments.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Rotary mechanical adjustment for precise attenuation control
• 10 dB incremental step resolution across the full range
• Passivated stainless steel housing for environmental resistance

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in test and measurement setups
• Attenuation stages in communication system testing
• Calibration of RF power meters and receivers

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations through official documentation before integration. Confirm connector gender and interface compatibility with existing N-type fixtures. Ensure operational power levels remain within the 2 Watt limit to prevent damage. Check for specific traceability requirements if mandated by project standards.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when variable attenuation between 0 and 60 dB is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The N-type female-to-female configuration suits direct cable or fixture connections. Consider the rotary mechanism for manual tuning needs rather than electronic control. Verify physical space constraints due to the stainless steel construction.

Attenuators Part Context
