The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and supports a maximum power rating of 2 W. It is designed for robust performance across an operating temperature range from -65 °C to +165 °C.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for enhanced signal integrity
• Military specification SMA connector interface
• Wide operational temperature tolerance

Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Defense and aerospace communication systems
• High-frequency signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific screening level required for your application, as this model is designated as screened. Confirm that the SMA female-to-male configuration matches your system interconnect requirements. Ensure the 2 W power rating and 18 GHz frequency limit are sufficient for your operational parameters before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 11 dB attenuation is required in an SMA environment up to 18 GHz. Consider the screened variant if electromagnetic interference protection is necessary. Verify compatibility with the -65 °C to +165 °C temperature range for extreme environment applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of RF attenuators manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values and connector configurations tailored for military and high-reliability applications. The M3933/16-11S specifically addresses needs for moderate attenuation in SMA-based systems.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/16-10S: Provides 10 dB attenuation with identical SMA F-to-M configuration and 18 GHz frequency range. M3933/16-22S: Offers 5.5 dB attenuation with the same connector type and frequency specifications.
