M3933/16-19N

Overview

The M3933/16-19N is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides an attenuation value of 2.5 dB with a 50 Ohm impedance. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz and supports a power rating of 2W. It utilizes SMA connectors in an inline module configuration.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 2.5 dB signal attenuation for RF applications
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum up to 18 GHz
• Features robust SMA connector interface for reliable connectivity

Applications

• RF signal level control in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Military and aerospace electronic subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm material composition and compliance status, as suffixes often denote critical variations in construction or environmental ratings. Ensure the required attenuation tolerance and power handling capabilities align precisely with the system design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low attenuation value of 2.5 dB is required within an 18 GHz bandwidth. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF transmission lines. Consider the SMA interface compatibility and 2W power handling limits relative to the application's signal strength and thermal environment requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933/16 series of fixed attenuators from Midwest Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent 50 Ohm impedance and SMA connectivity. These components are designed for high-performance RF environments requiring stable signal reduction.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/16-19S serves as a potential substitute variant within the same series, differing primarily in connector gender or plating finish. Verify mechanical interface compatibility and electrical performance equivalence before substitution.
