M3933/16-17S

Overview

The M3933/16-17S is a screened RF MIL Spec 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 maintains a 50 Ohms impedance and provides a maximum attenuation of 0.5 dB. It has a power rating of 2 W and functions at temperatures between -65 C and +165 C. Packaged in bulk, this inline module is designed for high-frequency signal management in military-grade applications.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for enhanced signal integrity
• Military specification compliance for rugged environments
• Inline attenuator design for precise signal reduction

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment
• Military communication systems
• High-frequency signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific screening requirements against project specifications, as this model denotes screened units. Confirm that the SMA female-to-male orientation matches the system interconnect needs. Ensure the 0.5 dB attenuation value aligns with the required signal loss parameters. Check compatibility with the -65 C to +165 C operating temperature range for the intended environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a minimal 0.5 dB attenuation is required in an 18 GHz SMA system. The screened variant is suitable for applications demanding reduced interference. Consider the 2 W power rating for thermal management. The military specification ensures reliability in harsh conditions compared to commercial alternatives.
