P1AT-24MF-50G1W-30

Overview

The P1AT-24MF-50G1W-30 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides an attenuation value of 30 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 50 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 1 Watt. The component utilizes a coaxial interface configuration featuring a 2.4mm Male connector on one end and a 2.4mm Female connector on the other, designed for high-frequency signal processing applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 30 dB signal attenuation for RF systems
• Operates across a wide bandwidth from DC to 50 GHz
• Features robust 1 Watt power handling capability
• Utilizes standard 2.4mm male-to-female coaxial connectors

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement equipment
• Microwave communication system signal conditioning
• RF circuit impedance matching and level control

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 30 dB attenuation value and 50 GHz frequency limit. Confirm the physical connector orientation corresponds to the Male-to-Female specification. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 1 Watt power rating. Check for any manufacturer-specific documentation regarding thermal management or mounting requirements for the 2.4mm form factor.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system operating up to 50 GHz. The 2.4mm interface is suitable for compact high-density designs requiring performance beyond standard SMA limits. Consider the 1 Watt power limit when designing for high-power transmission lines. This model is appropriate for applications needing stable attenuation without variable adjustment mechanisms.

Part Context

This component belongs to the P1AT series of RF attenuators produced by P1dB Inc. The series includes various attenuation values and connector configurations. The P1AT-24MF-50G1W-30 specifically denotes the 30 dB variant within the 2.4mm male-to-female product line, sharing common design characteristics with other models in the same family regarding construction and general electrical behavior.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the P1AT-24MF-50G1W-03, which offers 3 dB attenuation but shares the same 2.4mm interface, 50 GHz frequency range, and 1 Watt power rating. Other parts in the P1AT-24MF series may serve as alternatives if different attenuation levels are acceptable while maintaining identical connector and performance specifications.
