M3933/16-02S

Overview

The M3933/16-02S is an RF MIL Spec connector manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. It functions as a screened SMA attenuator with a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component features a female-to-male configuration and maintains a 50 Ohms impedance. It provides a maximum attenuation of 6 dB and supports a power rating of 2 W. The unit operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +165 C.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for military specification compliance
• In-line SMA male and female interface design
• Wideband operation up to 18 GHz

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in high-frequency circuits
• Military communication system integration
• Test and measurement equipment calibration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific screening requirements against project standards before procurement. Confirm that the SMA gender orientation matches the system architecture. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational temperature extremes. Validate impedance matching for signal integrity. Check manufacturer documentation for latest revision status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is required within the 18 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 2 W power handling limit for thermal management. Evaluate the screened housing for EMI protection needs. Compare dimensions against available board space. Assess compatibility with existing SMA interconnect infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of RF attenuators designed for demanding environments. It utilizes standard SMA interfaces for broad interoperability. The screened variant ensures reliability under strict military protocols. It serves as a passive component for precise signal control.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/16-07S: Offers 4 dB attenuation at 18 GHz. M3933/16-09S: Provides 7 dB attenuation at 18 GHz. M3933/16-22S: Delivers 5.5 dB attenuation at 18 GHz. All share identical SMA interfaces and frequency ranges.
