LCAT7467-2

Overview

The LCAT7467-2 is a fixed attenuator from the L-com Passive series, designed for RF signal management. It provides an attenuation value of 2 dB with a tolerance of ±1 dB. The component operates within a frequency range of DC to 12 GHz and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. It features SMA male (plug) to SMA female (jack) connectors. The device supports a maximum continuous wave power handling of 2 Watts and exhibits a maximum Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.35:1.

Feature Summary

• SMA connectorized design with male plug to female jack interface
• Fixed attenuation capability at 2 dB nominal value
• Operational frequency coverage extending from DC to 12 GHz
• High power handling capacity rated at 2 Watts continuous wave

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in test and measurement equipment
• Impedance matching and signal conditioning in communication systems
• Protection of sensitive receiver inputs from high power signals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the LCAT7467-2 to confirm current electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with SMA connector standards in your system design. Check manufacturer documentation for any updates regarding material composition or environmental ratings prior to final integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 2 dB reduction is required within the 12 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 2W power rating against expected signal levels. Verify that the SMA gender configuration matches the source and load connections. Compare VSWR specifications against system return loss requirements to ensure minimal reflection impact.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LCAT series of passive connectorized attenuators manufactured by L-com. These components are engineered for reliable performance in coaxial RF environments. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent impedance and connector types across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official L-com documentation for direct cross-reference part numbers. Ensure any substitute maintains identical SMA connector genders, 50-ohm impedance, and 12 GHz frequency range. Verify that replacement units meet the same 2W power handling and 2 dB attenuation specifications.
