FMAT7510-20

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7510-20 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for high-frequency applications up to 50 GHz. It features a 20 dB attenuation value and utilizes 2.4mm connectors, specifically a male plug on one side and a female jack on the other. The unit is rated for a power handling capacity of 2 Watts and incorporates a stainless steel body for durability. Key electrical performance metrics include a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.45:1. This component serves as an interconnect solution for maintaining signal integrity in RF systems operating within the specified frequency range.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 20 dB signal attenuation for RF circuitry
• Operates effectively at frequencies extending up to 50 GHz
• Constructed with a durable stainless steel housing
• Utilizes 2.4mm connector interfaces for secure mating

Attenuators Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Microwave communication system signal conditioning
• RF component characterization and calibration setups

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration and frequency rating against your system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 2.4mm interface is compatible with existing cabling and fixtures. Ensure the 2 Watt power rating exceeds the maximum expected signal power in your application to prevent damage. Check for any specific environmental or compliance certifications required for your deployment.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 20 dB reduction is required in the 50 GHz band. The 2.4mm interface offers superior performance over larger connectors like SMA or V-band at these frequencies. Consider the stainless steel construction for robustness in industrial environments. Ensure the VSWR specification meets the sensitivity requirements of your connected components.

Attenuators Part Context

Fairview Microwave produces a range of precision RF attenuators for various connector types. The FMAT7510 series specifically addresses the needs of ultra-high-frequency applications using 2.4mm interfaces. These components are part of the broader interconnect solutions portfolio, designed to provide reliable signal management in demanding RF environments where standard connectors may not suffice.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 20 dB attenuation, 50 GHz frequency limit, and 2.4mm connector type. Verify that substitute components maintain the 1.45:1 VSWR and 2 Watt power rating. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting styles are compatible with the existing assembly.
