M3933/16-10S

Overview

The M3933/16-10S is an RF MIL Spec connector attenuator manufactured by Amphenol / SV Microwave. 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 maximum attenuation of 8 dB at a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It has a power rating of 2 W and functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -65°C to +165°C. The unit is packaged in bulk.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed signal attenuation for high-frequency applications
• Constructed with SMA interface connectors for secure mating
• Designed to meet rigorous military specification standards

Applications

• Military radio systems requiring precise signal level control
• Test and measurement equipment calibration setups
• Avionics signal processing chains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the M3933/16-10S to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed electrical tolerances. Ensure that the procurement channel sources components directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to guarantee authenticity. Check for any updated screening requirements associated with the military specification designation before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an inline attenuator with SMA interfaces is required for frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 8 dB attenuation value suits applications needing moderate signal reduction. Consider the 2 W power handling capability and wide temperature range for harsh environment deployments. Verify compatibility with existing SMA cable assemblies and connector gender configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of RF MIL Spec Connectors produced by Amphenol / SV Microwave. The series includes various attenuator models with different attenuation values and connector types, such as the M3933/16-05S and M3933/25-12S. These components are designed for reliable performance in demanding electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other M3933/16 variants like M3933/16-05S or M3933/16-22S if attenuation differences are acceptable. Cross-reference with equivalent MIL-DTL-38999 compliant attenuators from other manufacturers only if interface and electrical specifications match exactly.
