M3933/16-11N

Overview

The M3933/16-11N is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides an attenuation value of 11 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz and supports a power rating of 2 Watts. It utilizes SMA connectors in an inline module configuration. This component is designed for high-frequency signal management applications requiring precise attenuation levels.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 11 dB attenuation for signal level control
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum up to 18 GHz
• Features SMA connector interface for reliable RF connections
• Supports 2W power handling capacity

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication systems
• Military and aerospace electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official datasheets to confirm compliance requirements, as it may indicate non-RoHS or military screening standards. Confirm SMA connector gender (male/female) matches system design. Check manufacturer lead times for make-to-order availability. Ensure environmental specifications meet operational temperature ranges.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 11 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms. Compare against M3933/16-11S if screened versions are needed. Verify frequency coverage meets system bandwidth needs up to 18 GHz. Consider power handling limits for high-power RF paths. Evaluate connector compatibility with existing SMA infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933/16 series of fixed attenuators from Midwest Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values from 1 dB to 40 dB. These components are characterized by their robust construction and consistent performance across microwave frequencies. They are commonly used in applications demanding stable attenuation characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/16-11S is a screened variant offering similar electrical specifications. ATT-0333-11-SMA-02 provides comparable 11 dB attenuation in the same frequency range. Verify connector gender and mounting style before substitution.
