M3933/16-24N

Overview

The M3933/16-24N is a connectorized attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave, designed for RF applications up to 18 GHz. It features SMA connectors with a 50 Ohm impedance and provides a maximum attenuation of 7.5 dB. The unit supports a power rating of 2 W and operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +165°C. Packaged in bulk, this component serves as an inline module for signal level adjustment in high-frequency systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation for RF circuits
• Supports operation up to 18 GHz frequency range
• Constructed with durable SMA interface connectors

Applications

• Military radio systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Avionics signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific attenuation value against the official datasheet, as military specifications often include screening suffixes that may alter performance parameters. Confirm the operating temperature range and power rating requirements match the target application environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 7.5 dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. Ensure the SMA connector gender matches the system interconnect needs. Verify that the 2 W power handling capacity is sufficient for the intended signal levels and that the wide temperature range meets environmental constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M3933 series of RF MIL Spec Connectors produced by Amphenol SV Microwave. The series includes various attenuator configurations with different attenuation values and connector orientations, all adhering to strict military reliability standards for harsh environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other M3933 series variants such as M3933/16-23N or M3933/16-22S, provided they meet the specific attenuation and frequency requirements. Always verify connector gender and screening status when cross-referencing equivalent parts.
