FMAT7610-3

Attenuators Overview

The FMAT7610-3 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It provides a nominal attenuation of 3dB with a maximum power handling capacity of 10W. The component operates within a frequency range from DC to 4GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. It features BNC male to BNC female connectors in a plug-to-jack configuration, designed for reliable signal reduction in radio frequency circuits.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Fixed 3dB attenuation value
• 10W power handling capability
• DC to 4GHz operational bandwidth
• BNC male to BNC female interface

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Test and measurement setups
• Communication system protection

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and mating compatibility before integration. Confirm that the 10W power rating aligns with peak signal levels in the target circuit. Ensure the BNC interface matches existing panel or cable infrastructure requirements for proper mechanical fit.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 3dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 4GHz. The 10W rating supports higher power applications compared to standard low-power variants. The BNC interface offers convenient connectivity for benchtop or modular equipment without requiring additional adapters.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of fixed attenuators. It serves as a passive device for controlling signal amplitude in RF systems. The design focuses on maintaining impedance consistency while providing stable attenuation across the specified frequency band.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Equivalent models include BW-N3W5+ from Mini-Circuits and PE7461-3 from Pasternack. These alternatives offer similar 3dB attenuation and N-type interfaces, though connector types may differ. Verify electrical specifications match before substitution.
