M3933/16-07N

Overview

The M3933/16-07N is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides a nominal attenuation of 4 dB with a frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component features SMA connectors and operates at a system impedance of 50 Ohms. It supports a maximum power dissipation of 2 Watts. Designed for rugged environments, it complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 specifications.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 military specifications for reliability
• Provides precise 4 dB fixed signal attenuation
• Operates across a wide DC to 18 GHz bandwidth
• Features robust SMA connector interface

Applications

• Military communication systems
• Aerospace test and measurement equipment
• Defense electronic signal conditioning
• Harsh environment RF circuitry

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm compliance with MIL-DTL-M3933 standards. Ensure that procurement channels provide traceability certificates required for military-grade components. Confirm that the SMA connector gender matches the system requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 4 dB attenuation is required within an 18 GHz operational bandwidth. The 50 Ohm impedance rating must align with the surrounding RF network. Consider the 2 Watt power handling capability relative to the application's signal levels. Verify environmental temperature ratings if operating outside standard conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M3933 series of connectorized attenuators produced by Midwest Microwave, a division of Cinch Connectivity Solutions. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical performance and mechanical durability suitable for demanding defense and aerospace applications.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/16-07S serves as a screened variant within the same family. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering MIL-DTL-M3933 compliant parts only if form, fit, and function data sheets match exactly.
