M3933/16-26N

Overview

The M3933/16-26N is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave. It provides an attenuation value of 9.5 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz and supports a power rating of 2 Watts. It utilizes SMA connectors in an in-line module configuration. This component complies with the MIL-DTL-M3933 military specification.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-M3933 military specifications for rugged performance
• Provides precise 9.5 dB signal attenuation across a wide bandwidth
• Features SMA connector interface for reliable high-frequency integration

Applications

• Military electronic systems requiring standardized RF attenuation
• Aerospace communication equipment testing and signal conditioning
• Harsh environment radio frequency circuit protection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required MIL-DTL-M3933 qualification level. Confirm SMA connector gender and mating compatibility with existing system interfaces. Ensure environmental ratings meet operational temperature requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status as these components may not adhere to standard environmental directives.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 9.5 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms up to 18 GHz. Consider the SMA interface for standard board or cable connections. Evaluate the 2W power handling against peak signal levels. Verify military specification compliance if used in defense or aerospace applications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the M3933 series of fixed attenuators designed for high-reliability applications. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics. These modules are engineered for use in demanding environments where signal integrity and durability are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other MIL-DTL-M3933 qualified attenuators with identical 9.5 dB attenuation, 50 Ohm impedance, and SMA connectors. Verify that alternative parts match the 18 GHz frequency limit and 2W power rating.
