P1AT-29MF-40G2W-3

Overview

The P1AT-29MF-40G2W-3 is an RF attenuator manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides a fixed attenuation of 3 dB with a frequency range spanning from 0 Hz to 40 GHz. The device features a 50 Ohms impedance and supports a power handling capacity of 2 Watts. It utilizes a 2.92mm In-Line Module package configuration, designed for high-frequency signal management in microwave applications.

Feature Summary

• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum up to 40 GHz
• Provides precise 3 dB fixed attenuation
• Features robust 2 Watt power handling capability
• Utilizes 50 Ohms impedance for standard RF systems

Applications

• Microwave test and measurement equipment
• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• High-frequency circuit prototyping
• Laboratory instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (Male-to-Female) against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 2.92mm interface matches existing cabling infrastructure. Ensure the 2W power rating exceeds maximum expected signal levels to prevent component damage. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 3 dB reduction is required at frequencies extending beyond typical microwave ranges. Consider the 2.92mm connector type for compatibility with precision test gear. Evaluate the 2W power limit against peak signal strengths. This component suits applications demanding stable attenuation without variable adjustment mechanisms.

Part Context

This part belongs to the P1AT series of RF attenuators from P1dB Inc. It shares the same form factor and electrical characteristics as other variants in the line, differing primarily in attenuation value. The series targets high-performance microwave environments requiring reliable signal level control.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other P1AT series models with identical 2.92mm interfaces and 40 GHz bandwidth but different attenuation values, such as P1AT-29MF-40G2W-10 or P1AT-29MF-40G2W-20. Cross-brand replacements must match the 2.92mm connector type, 50 Ohms impedance, and 40 GHz frequency range to ensure functional equivalence.
