M3933/14-22N

Overview

The M3933/14-22N is a connectorized attenuator from Amphenol SV Microwave, designed for RF applications up to 18 GHz. It features SMA male-to-female interfaces and provides a nominal attenuation of 22 dB. The component operates within a frequency range of DC to 12.4 GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. It is constructed as a nonscreened unit with a bulk packaging format, suitable for precise signal level control in high-frequency circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 22 dB attenuation for signal level adjustment
• Utilizes SMA male to female connector interface
• Operates at frequencies up to 18 GHz
• Designed as a nonscreened attenuator module

Applications

• RF circuit power level reduction
• Signal conditioning in microwave systems
• Test and measurement equipment interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the M3933/14-22N to confirm exact attenuation tolerance and VSWR specifications. Ensure compatibility with SMA mating connectors in the target assembly. Check for any environmental qualification requirements such as MIL-STD standards if used in rugged applications. Confirm package type is bulk for handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 22 dB attenuation is required in an SMA system operating up to 18 GHz. Consider the nonscreened design for cost-sensitive or space-constrained applications where shielding is not critical. Compare against screened variants like the M3933/16 series if EMI protection is necessary. Verify power handling capabilities match the system requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of connectorized attenuators by Amphenol SV Microwave. The series includes various attenuation values and connector types, including SMA and 2.92mm. The M3933/14-22N specifically addresses the need for moderate signal reduction in high-frequency RF paths using standard SMA interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Similar SMA attenuators may be found within the same manufacturer's catalog but will differ in attenuation value or screening type.
