M3933/30-23N

Overview

The M3933/30-23N is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave, designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 32 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. The component provides an attenuation value of 11 dB with a power rating of 2 W. It utilizes 2.92 mm connectors, specifically female-to-female configuration, and is constructed as an inline module. The unit is suitable for environments ranging from -65°C to +165°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports ultra-high frequency operation up to 32 GHz
• Provides precise 11 dB signal attenuation
• Features robust 2 W power handling capability
• Utilizes durable 2.92 mm connector interface

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
