It utilizes SMA single-row inline connectors for signal transmission.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with MIL-DTL-M3933 military specifications
• Designed for high-frequency signal attenuation up to 18 GHz
• Constructed with SMA male/female inline connectors

Applications

• Military communication systems
• Aerospace instrumentation
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (N or S) against the procurement requirement, as it denotes connector gender configuration. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if required, as this series may not meet standard environmental regulations. Ensure the operating environment falls within the specified temperature range of -55°C to +125°C during integration planning.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 7.5 dB reduction is required in the 18 GHz bandwidth. The 2 W power handling capacity suits moderate power applications. Verify that the SMA interface matches the system cabling infrastructure. Consider the military-grade qualification for harsh environment reliability requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933/16 series of connectorized attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical performance across the DC to 18 GHz spectrum. These components are engineered for stability and precision in demanding RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other M3933/16 series variants with different attenuation values, such as M3933/16-05S or M3933/16-13S, provided the attenuation difference is acceptable. Cross-reference with equivalent MIL-DTL-M3933 compliant parts from other qualified manufacturers.
