M3933/14-10N

Overview

The M3933/14-10N is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. It utilizes SMA connectors with male-to-female configuration and operates within a frequency range of DC to 12.4 GHz. The component provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB at 50 Ohms impedance. It supports a maximum power rating of 2 Watts and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -65°C to +165°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation for high-frequency applications
• Features robust SMA connector interface for secure integration
• Designed for wide temperature operational stability

Applications

• Satellite communication systems
• Microwave circuit power level adjustment
• RF test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official datasheets to confirm non-screened construction versus screened variants. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA interfaces and validate thermal management requirements for the specified power rating in the final assembly design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB attenuation is required within the 12.4 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 2W power handling limit and the extended temperature range suitability for harsh environments compared to standard commercial alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M3933 series of space attenuators designed for satellite microwave circuits. It serves as a critical interconnect solution for maintaining signal integrity and power levels in complex RF architectures requiring military-grade reliability.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/14-10S is a screened variant with identical electrical specifications.
