FMAT7463-10

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7463-10 is a fixed attenuator from Fairview Microwave featuring SMA male to SMA female connectors. It provides 10 dB attenuation with a power rating of 10 Watts and operates up to 12.4 GHz. The unit has a black aluminum body, measures 24.61 mm in length, and maintains a VSWR of 1.35:1.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Unidirectional signal attenuation capability
• Robust black aluminum housing construction
• SMA connector interface for reliable RF connections

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test setups
• Impedance matching in microwave circuits
• Signal isolation in communication systems

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMAT7463-10 to confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with SMA interfaces and check for any specific handling requirements related to the aluminum body finish. Confirm operational frequency limits against system requirements.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 dB fixed attenuation value is required within the 12.4 GHz range. The 10 Watt power rating suits higher power applications compared to standard 2 Watt variants. Consider the SMA interface type and aluminum body material for thermal and mechanical integration needs.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the FMAT7463 series of connectorized attenuators by Fairview Microwave. It shares design characteristics with other models in the series, such as the FMAT7463-20, differing primarily in attenuation value and potentially power handling capabilities while maintaining similar connector types and frequency ranges.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

The FMAT7463-20 serves as a functional substitute if a different attenuation value is acceptable. Verify that the replacement model supports the required 10 Watt power rating and 12.4 GHz frequency range. Ensure SMA connector gender and interface compatibility remain unchanged.
