NA-PJ-10

Overview

The TYCLON NA-PJ-10 is an N-type coaxial fixed attenuator designed for high-frequency RF applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a tolerance of ±0.5 dB up to 2 GHz and ±1.0 dB up to 4 GHz. The component features a male plug to female jack interface configuration, ensuring reliable signal connection in test and measurement setups. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 4 GHz and maintains a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.15 or less from DC to 2 GHz, and 1.2 or less from DC to 4 GHz. The device supports a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and functions reliably within a temperature range of -20°C to +65°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 10 dB fixed attenuation for signal level control in RF circuits
• Features robust N-type connector interface with male plug and female jack geometry
• Maintains low VSWR specifications across the operational frequency bandwidth

Applications

• RF signal testing and measurement equipment
• High-frequency circuit calibration systems
• Broadcast media infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required attenuation value and connector gender configuration. Confirm that the operating frequency requirements align with the specified 4 GHz limit. Ensure environmental conditions fall within the stated temperature range. Check datasheet specifications for power handling capabilities if applicable to the system design. Validate connector compatibility with existing cable assemblies before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB attenuation is required in N-type RF systems. Consider the VSWR performance limits for high-precision applications. Evaluate the frequency range against system requirements to ensure operation remains within the 4 GHz specification. Assess thermal management needs based on the operating temperature range. Compare against adjustable attenuators if variable signal control is necessary.
