NPJ50AT6G50W-10dB

Overview

The NPJ50AT6G50W-10dB is an N-type coaxial attenuator manufactured by TYCLON. It provides a fixed attenuation of 10 dB with a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz and a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component supports a power rating of 50 Watts and utilizes an in-line module configuration. Construction features a phosphor bronze center contact with gold plating and a brass external contact with tri-metal plating.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation for signal level control
• Operates within a 0 Hz to 6 GHz frequency range
• High power handling capability of 50 Watts
• N-Type connector interface for in-line integration

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation
• Test and measurement equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• High-frequency circuit protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '10dB' matches the required attenuation value, as this series includes variants such as 3dB and 6dB. Confirm the N-Type connector gender and cable assembly requirements if applicable. Ensure the 50W power rating aligns with system thermal constraints. Check RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations. Validate the 6 GHz upper frequency limit against operational bandwidth needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 10 dB reduction is needed at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The 50W power rating distinguishes it from lower-power variants like the NPJ50AT6G30W series. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance matches the transmission line. Consider the physical size of the in-line module for enclosure space. Verify compatibility with existing N-Type connectors in the assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the TYCLON NPJ50AT6G50W series of high-power N-type attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values including 3dB, 6dB, and 10dB. These components are designed for robust RF applications requiring stable performance across a wide frequency band. The manufacturer specializes in coaxial connectors and cable assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other NPJ50AT6G50W series models with different attenuation values if the dB requirement changes. Cross-brand replacements must match the 50 Ohm impedance, 6 GHz frequency limit, and 50W power rating. Verify that alternative N-Type connectors maintain similar VSWR and insertion loss characteristics.
