M3933/16-26N

Overview

The M3933/16-26N is a connectorized RF attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. It features SMA female-to-male connectors and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component provides a nominal attenuation value of 9.5 dB at a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It has a power rating of 2 W and is designed for non-screened applications. The unit is packaged in bulk format.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 9.5 dB attenuation for signal level control
• Supports operation up to 18 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance
• Utilizes SMA female-to-male connector interface

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment
• Military and aerospace communication systems
• Signal conditioning in high-frequency circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the M3933/16-26N to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the SMA connector gender and mating requirements align with the system design before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with official Amphenol SV Microwave documentation to validate the 9.5 dB attenuation tolerance and power handling specifications for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 9.5 dB reduction is required in an SMA-based RF chain operating up to 18 GHz. Consider the 2 W power rating and non-screened construction against environmental and thermal constraints. Compare against other M3933 series variants if different attenuation values or screened housing options are necessary for the specific deployment scenario.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of connectorized attenuators from Amphenol SV Microwave, which are designed for military and aerospace applications. The series offers various attenuation values and connector types, including SMA and 2.92mm, to support diverse RF system requirements. These components are characterized by their robust construction and wide frequency coverage.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other M3933 series attenuators with identical SMA interfaces and similar attenuation values, such as the M3933/16-25N or M3933/16-27N, provided the exact 9.5 dB specification matches the circuit design needs.
