M3933/30-16S

Overview

The M3933/30-16S is a screened connectorized attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. It utilizes a 2.92mm female to male interface configuration with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The component provides a maximum attenuation value of 7.5 dB and supports a frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 40 GHz. It features a power rating of 2 W and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +165 °C.

Feature Summary

• Screened construction for enhanced environmental protection
• High-frequency operation up to 40 GHz using 2.92mm interfaces
• Military-grade thermal stability across extreme temperature ranges

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement instrumentation
• Defense and aerospace RF signal conditioning
• Microwave communication system calibration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact attenuation tolerance and screening specifications. Ensure compatibility with 2.92mm mating connectors in your assembly. Confirm that the 2 W power rating aligns with your system's peak power requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed attenuation solution is required for frequencies up to 40 GHz. The 2.92mm interface offers superior performance compared to SMA types at higher frequencies. Consider the screened variant if environmental sealing is necessary for military or harsh industrial applications.

Part Context

This model belongs to the M3933 series of connectorized attenuators designed for high-reliability applications. It is part of Amphenol SV Microwave's portfolio of RF interconnect solutions, specifically engineered to meet stringent military and aerospace standards for signal integrity and durability.

Replacement Considerations

M3933/30-15S is a documented substitute offering similar 2.92mm characteristics with slightly different attenuation values.
