Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the FMAT7602-15 to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector tolerances. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the 2W power rating or 6 GHz frequency limit. Confirm that SMA mating interfaces are compatible with existing system components before procurement.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 15 dB attenuation is required between DC and 6 GHz. The 2W power rating suits moderate signal levels. The SMA interface offers standard connectivity. Stainless steel housing provides environmental protection compared to plated alternatives.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the FMAT7602 series of fixed attenuators from Fairview Microwave. The series includes variants with different attenuation values such as 4dB, 5dB, 12dB, and 40dB. All share similar 2W power handling and 50 Ohm impedance characteristics within the DC to 6 GHz range.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 15dB SMA fixed attenuators from manufacturers like Mini-Circuits or Pasternack. Verify that replacement parts match the 2W power rating and 50 Ohm impedance. Ensure the SMA gender and frequency response align with the original design requirements.
