NPJ50AT6G10W-6dB

Overview

The NPJ50AT6G10W-6dB is an N-type coaxial attenuator manufactured by TYCLON. It provides a nominal attenuation of 6 dB with a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz and a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device supports a maximum power handling capacity of 10 Watts. It operates within a temperature range of -45°C to +85°C. Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is specified as 1.2 or less from DC to 3 GHz, and 1.3 or less from 3 GHz to 6 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 6 dB signal attenuation for RF applications
• Operates reliably across a wide frequency spectrum up to 6 GHz
• Supports high power handling capacity of 10 Watts
• Features robust construction suitable for extreme temperature environments

Applications

• High-frequency RF signal testing and measurement systems
• Signal level adjustment in wireless communication infrastructure
• Attenuation requirements in laboratory test setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number NPJ50AT6G10W-6dB against official TYCLON documentation to ensure accuracy. Confirm that the required attenuation value, power rating, and connector type match your system specifications. Check for any specific ordering suffixes or packaging variations if applicable. Ensure compatibility with existing N-type connectors in your assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is required within the 0-6 GHz range. Consider the 10W power rating for high-power applications. Ensure the N-type interface matches your cable assemblies. Verify VSWR requirements against the specified limits for your frequency band. This model is suitable for both low and high-frequency operations within its rated range.

Part Context

This part belongs to TYCLON's series of N-type coaxial attenuators. It shares similar physical dimensions and interface standards with other models in the family, such as the NPJ50AT6G10W-10dB, which offers different attenuation values. The series is designed for consistent performance across various RF applications requiring precise signal control.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other TYCLON N-type attenuators with matching 6 dB attenuation, such as variants with different power ratings if compatible. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the 50 Ohm impedance, N-type interface, and 6 GHz frequency limit. Verify mechanical fit and electrical parameters before substitution.
