• Designed for high-frequency signal attenuation up to 18 GHz
• Constructed with SMA connector interface for reliable interconnection

Applications

• Military communication systems
• Aerospace instrumentation
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (S or N) against the procurement requirement, as it denotes connector gender configuration. Confirm compliance with MIL-DTL-M3933 standards and ensure the operating environment falls within the specified temperature range. Check current availability status as these components are often produced under specific manufacturing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 3dB attenuation is required for frequencies extending to 18 GHz. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50 Ohm specification. Consider the 2W power handling capability relative to the application's signal levels. Verify that the SMA connector type aligns with the existing cabling infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of connectorized attenuators from Cinch Connectivity Solutions. These components are engineered for demanding environments, offering consistent performance across wide bandwidths. The series supports various attenuation values while maintaining strict adherence to military-grade quality and reliability standards.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/16-01N serves as a functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics but utilizes male SMA connectors instead of female.
