M3933/16-02S

Overview

The M3933/16-02S is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It features SMA connectors and provides a nominal attenuation of 6 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. It has a power rating of 2 W and functions between -55°C and +125°C. This component complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 standards.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 military specifications for quality assurance
• Provides stable 6 dB signal attenuation across the specified bandwidth
• Utilizes SMA connector interface for reliable RF interconnection

Applications

• Military communication systems requiring screened components
• Test and measurement equipment operating up to 18 GHz
• RF circuitry needing precise signal level reduction
• Avionics subsystems adhering to MIL-DTL-M3933 standards

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required MIL-DTL-M3933 screening level, as designations like 'S' indicate screened variants. Confirm that the SMA connector gender and cable assembly requirements align with system integration needs. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational temperature extremes. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is necessary within an 18 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 2 W power handling capability for high-power RF paths. Verify compatibility with existing SMA infrastructure. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the wide operating temperature range. Compare against other M3933/16 series variants for different attenuation values.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M3933/16 series of connectorized attenuators from Cinch Connectivity Solutions. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent SMA interfaces and MIL-DTL-M3933 compliance. These parts are designed for rugged applications requiring reliable RF performance in demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other M3933/16 series variants with different attenuation values, such as M3933/16-13S (40 dB). Ensure replacement parts maintain the same SMA interface, 50 Ohm impedance, and MIL-DTL-M3933 qualification level for direct interchangeability.
