M3933/14-06N

Overview

The M3933/14-06N is a coaxial RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 1dB with a 50 Ohm impedance. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz and supports a power rating of 2W. It utilizes SMA connectors in an in-line module configuration. The component complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 standards, indicating military-grade construction suitable for demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 1dB attenuation value for precise signal level control
• Wideband operation from DC to 12.4 GHz
• SMA connector interface for standard RF integration
• MIL-DTL-M3933 compliant military-grade construction

Applications

• RF and microwave test and measurement systems
• Defense electronic equipment requiring signal conditioning
• Aerospace communication subsystems
• Harsh environment wireless communications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (N or S) against the design requirement, as it denotes connector gender or plating differences. Confirm compliance with MIL-DTL-M3933 specifications. Check RoHS status, which may be non-compliant for this series. Ensure the SMA interface matches the system board or cable assembly requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a low 1dB attenuation step is required at frequencies up to 12.4 GHz. The 2W power rating suits moderate power applications. Compare with other M3933/14 variants if different attenuation values are needed. Ensure the SMA connector type aligns with the mating hardware. Consider environmental ratings for deployment in extreme temperatures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 family of precision RF attenuators produced by Midwest Microwave, a division of Cinch Connectivity Solutions. These components are designed for high-reliability applications in defense and aerospace sectors. The series offers various attenuation values and connector types while maintaining strict performance tolerances across wide bandwidths.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other M3933/14 series parts with matching attenuation values, such as M3933/14-07N or M3933/14-08N, depending on the required dB loss. Cross-reference with MIL-DTL-M3933 equivalents from other qualified manufacturers. Verify that replacement units maintain the same SMA interface and 50 Ohm impedance characteristics.
