M3933/16-06S

Overview

The M3933/16-06S is an RF attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave, designed for high-frequency applications. It features SMA connectors with a female-to-male configuration and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component provides a nominal attenuation of 2 dB at a 50 Ohm impedance level. It supports a maximum power rating of 2 W and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -65 °C to +165 °C. This screened unit is packaged in bulk.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation via integrated resistive elements
• Ensures stable performance through screened military-grade construction
• Facilitates direct integration using standard SMA connector interfaces

Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Military communication systems
• Aerospace electronic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific screening requirements against project specifications before procurement. Confirm that the SMA female-to-male orientation matches the system interconnect design. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational temperature extremes. Check for compliance with relevant military standards and RoHS directives. Validate packaging type aligns with handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 2 dB attenuation is required within the 18 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for system compatibility. Evaluate the 2 W power handling capability against signal levels. Assess the wide temperature range suitability for harsh environments. Compare physical dimensions against available board space.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M3933 series of RF attenuators from Amphenol SV Microwave.
