M3933/16-01S

Overview

The Amphenol SV Microwave M3933/16-01S is a screened RF MIL Spec connector attenuator in the SMA series. It features an inline module design with SMA female to male connectors and a 50 Ohm impedance. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz, providing a maximum attenuation of 3 dB. It supports a power rating of 2 W and functions reliably between -65 C and +165 C.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for military specification compliance
• Inline SMA female-to-male attenuator configuration
• Wide operational temperature range suitable for harsh environments

Applications

• Military radio systems
• Avionics signal conditioning
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise attenuation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific screening requirements against project specifications before procurement. Confirm that the screened designation aligns with environmental protection needs. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA interfaces in the assembly. Review datasheet details for handling instructions related to high-frequency components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 3 dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The screened variant offers enhanced protection compared to non-screened options. Consider the 2 W power rating for signal integrity in active circuits. The wide temperature range supports deployment in extreme conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of RF attenuators manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. The series includes various attenuation values and connector configurations within the SMA standard. These components are designed to meet rigorous military standards for reliability and performance in defense applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other M3933 series variants with different attenuation values, such as M3933/16-09S (7 dB) or M3933/16-22S (5.5 dB). Non-screened equivalents like M3933/14-01N may be considered if shielding is not required.
