NA-PJ-20

Overview

The NA-PJ-20 is an N-type coaxial fixed attenuator manufactured by TYCLON. It provides a nominal attenuation of 20 dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 4 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. Attenuation accuracy is specified as ±0.5 dB up to 2 GHz and ±1.2 dB up to 4 GHz. The connector interface utilizes a plug-to-jack configuration, suitable for in-line RF signal reduction applications.

Feature Summary

• N-Type male-to-female in-line connector interface
• Fixed 20 dB attenuation value
• Operates from DC to 4 GHz frequency range
• 50 Ohm characteristic impedance design

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement setups
• Impedance matching between high-power sources and sensitive receivers
• Signal conditioning in wireless communication systems
• Laboratory equipment input protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version provided by TYCLON or authorized distributors to confirm current mechanical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type connector standards before integration. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for your specific market application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 20 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 4 GHz. Confirm that the 2W power rating exceeds the maximum expected signal power in the circuit. Verify that the N-type interface matches the system cabling and fixture requirements.

Part Context

TYCLON is a Japanese manufacturer specializing in high-frequency RF solutions with extensive industry experience. The NA series represents their line of precision coaxial attenuators designed for reliable performance in demanding RF environments. This model is part of their standard catalog offering for general-purpose signal attenuation.

Replacement Considerations

The BA-PJ-20 offers identical electrical specifications but utilizes a BNC interface instead of N-Type. Direct substitution requires verifying connector compatibility with the host system. No other exact functional equivalents are publicly confirmed in the provided documentation.
