NPJ50AT6G20W-6dB

Overview

The NPJ50AT6G20W-6dB is an N-Type in-line RF attenuator manufactured by TYCLON. It provides a fixed attenuation of 6 dB with a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz and a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component supports a maximum power handling capacity of 20W. It features a center contact made of phosphor bronze with gold plating and an external contact of brass with ternary plating. The unit operates within a temperature range of -45°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value for signal level control
• N-Type connector interface for in-line module integration
• High power handling capability up to 20W
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze center contact for conductivity

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• High-frequency circuit protection and level adjustment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required power rating and attenuation value. Confirm connector type compatibility with existing system interfaces. Ensure environmental specifications meet operational temperature requirements. Check datasheet for detailed mechanical dimensions and mounting constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required at 50 Ohms. Consider the 20W power rating for high-power applications. Verify frequency coverage up to 6 GHz suits the target signal bandwidth. Compare against other power ratings if higher or lower thermal limits are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NPJ series of coaxial attenuators from TYCLON. The series includes variants with different power ratings such as 10W and 30W, and various attenuation values. All models share the N-Type interface and similar construction materials, differing primarily in power handling and attenuation specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include NPJ50AT6G10W-6dB (10W) and NPJ50AT6G30W-6dB (30W). These parts offer identical electrical performance but differ in power handling capacity. Ensure the replacement meets the thermal requirements of the application.
