Overview

The M3933/16-17S is a screened RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It features SMA male-to-female connectors and provides a maximum attenuation of 0.5 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. It has a power rating of 2 W and functions between -65°C and +165°C.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for military specification compliance
• In-line module design with SMA male and female interfaces
• Wideband operation up to 18 GHz

Applications

• Military radio systems
• Aviation communication equipment
• Defense radar signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as this part number is associated with both Amphenol SV Microwave and Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave in public records. Confirm that the screened version meets the required MIL-DTL-39012 standards. Ensure the SMA gender configuration matches the system requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-loss, screened attenuator is required for high-frequency applications. The 0.5 dB value serves primarily for precise calibration or minimal signal reduction rather than significant power attenuation. Verify thermal management capabilities given the wide operating temperature range.

Part Context

This model belongs to the M3933/16 series of connectorized attenuators. These components are designed to meet strict military environmental and performance standards. The screened variant offers enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference compared to non-screened versions.
