FMAT7471-10

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7471-10 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a frequency range extending up to 26.5 GHz. The component utilizes 3.5mm connectors, featuring a male plug on one end and a female jack on the other. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. The unit is constructed with an aluminum body.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value
• Operates up to 26.5 GHz
• 3.5mm male to female interface
• 2 Watt power rating

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal testing and measurement setups
• Signal level adjustment in high-frequency circuits
• Component characterization at microwave frequencies

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the design requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 26.5 GHz frequency limit and 2 Watt power rating are sufficient for the intended application environment. Ensure compatibility with existing 3.5mm mating interfaces to maintain signal integrity.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 10 dB reduction is required within the 26.5 GHz bandwidth. The 3.5mm interface offers superior performance compared to SMA types at higher frequencies. Consider the 2 Watt power limit when designing for high-power transmission lines.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairview Microwave line of connectorized attenuators. It serves as a passive interconnect device designed to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The 3.5mm connector type supports wider bandwidth applications than standard coaxial connectors.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

FMAT7488-10 is a parameter-equivalent alternative using SMA connectors instead of 3.5mm. Verify connector compatibility when substituting, as SMA interfaces differ physically from 3.5mm types despite similar electrical specifications.
