FMAT7461-20

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7461-20 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides a nominal attenuation of 20 dB with a VSWR of 1.35:1. The device operates from DC to 12.4 GHz and handles up to 5 Watts of power. It features N-type male (plug) to N-type female (jack) connectors in an inline module configuration. The unit has a 50 Ohm impedance and is packaged in a bag.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Fixed 20 dB attenuation value
• N-type male to female inline connector interface
• Operates up to 12.4 GHz frequency range
• Rated for 5 Watts power handling

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement setups
• Impedance matching between N-type components
• Signal conditioning in wireless communication systems

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMAT7461-20 to confirm mechanical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with system requirements regarding the 50 Ohm impedance and 5 Watt power rating. Confirm that the N-type plug-to-jack configuration matches the intended circuit topology before finalizing procurement.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 20 dB reduction is required within the N-type connector ecosystem. The 5 Watt power rating supports moderate power applications, while the 12.4 GHz bandwidth covers standard microwave frequencies. Consider the inline module form factor for direct integration into existing coaxial lines without additional adapters.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave FXD ATTN series of fixed attenuators. These components are designed for reliable performance in RF environments requiring stable attenuation values. The N-type interface ensures broad compatibility with standard laboratory and industrial RF equipment.
