M3933/30-13S

Overview

The M3933/30-13S is a screened RF attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. It utilizes 2.92mm connectors with a female-to-male configuration. The component operates within a frequency range of DC to 32 GHz and provides a maximum attenuation of 13 dB. It features a 50 Ohm impedance and a power rating of 2 W. The unit is designed for military specifications and functions reliably within an operating temperature range of -65°C to +165°C.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for enhanced environmental protection in harsh conditions
• Compatible with 2.92mm connector interface standards
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 32 GHz
• Designed for military-grade reliability and durability

Applications

• Military radar systems requiring precise signal attenuation
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Avionics signal processing chains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific screening status and connector gender configuration against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 2.92mm interface matches existing system infrastructure. Ensure thermal management capabilities align with the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to +165°C. Check for any updated datasheet revisions that may affect mechanical dimensions or electrical tolerances.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a screened, high-frequency attenuator is required for military applications. The 2.92mm interface offers superior performance compared to standard SMA types at higher frequencies. Consider the 13 dB attenuation value relative to system gain requirements. Verify compatibility with existing cable assemblies and connector tools for the 2.92mm series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the M3933 series of RF attenuators from Amphenol SV Microwave. The series includes various attenuation values and connector types, including SMA and 2.92mm variants. The M3933/30-13S specifically addresses needs for screened, high-frequency attenuation in defense and aerospace sectors, distinguishing it from non-screened or lower-frequency counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/30-13N is a parameter-equivalent non-screened alternative. Verify if screening is mandatory for the application environment. Ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance remain consistent when substituting between screened and non-screened versions.
