M3933/14-10N

Overview

The M3933/14-10N is an RF attenuator module manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides a fixed attenuation of 7dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz and features SMA connectors in an in-line module configuration.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 military specifications for qualified products list (QPL) components
• Utilizes SMA connector interface for reliable high-frequency signal transmission
• Designed for stable performance across defined temperature ranges typical of military-grade hardware

Applications

• Military communication systems requiring precise signal level control
• Test and measurement equipment operating within microwave frequency bands
• Radar system signal conditioning and monitoring circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact compliance with MIL-DTL-M3933 standards. Ensure that the procurement channel sources genuine QPL screened units rather than commercial equivalents, as performance reliability depends on strict adherence to military qualification requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 7dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms impedance up to 12.4 GHz. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing circuitry. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the power rating specified in the datasheet to ensure operation within safe limits during continuous use.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of connectorized attenuators produced by Midwest Microwave. These components are engineered for defense and aerospace applications where stringent quality and environmental resilience are mandatory. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across the operational bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 7dB attenuation value, 50 Ohm impedance, and SMA interface. Verify that any substitute component also meets MIL-DTL-M3933 qualifications to maintain system integrity and regulatory compliance in military environments.
