NPJ50AT6G30W-3dB

Overview

The NPJ50AT6G30W-3dB is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by TYCLON. It provides a nominal attenuation of 3 dB with a tolerance of ±0.8 dB. The component operates within a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It features N-Type connectors in an inline module configuration. The device supports a maximum power handling capacity of 30 Watts and functions reliably across a temperature range of -45°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation value for precise signal level control
• N-Type connector interface for standard coaxial integration
• High power handling capability suitable for robust RF applications

Applications

• RF signal path calibration
• Test and measurement equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix to confirm the exact attenuation value, as the series includes variants with different dB ratings. Ensure the connector gender matches the system requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for detailed mechanical dimensions and mounting specifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system up to 6 GHz. Consider the 30W power rating for high-power applications. Verify that the N-Type interface aligns with existing cabling and hardware. Evaluate thermal management needs given the operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NPJ50AT6G30W series of fixed attenuators from TYCLON. Other models in this family include variants with 10 dB and 20 dB attenuation values, such as NPJ50AT6G30W-10dB and NPJ50AT6G30W-20dB. All share similar electrical and mechanical specifications but differ in their attenuation levels.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 3 dB fixed attenuators with N-Type connectors and 50 Ohm impedance. Ensure the replacement meets the same 6 GHz frequency limit and 30W power rating. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing mounting structures.
