P1AT-29MF-40G2W-6

Overview

The P1AT-29MF-40G2W-6 is a fixed-value RF attenuator manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides an attenuation of 6 dB with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 dB from DC to 40 GHz. The device operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and handles up to 2 Watts of power. It features 2.92mm male to female connectors, ensuring compatibility with standard high-frequency test equipment. The maximum VSWR is specified as 1.25 across the frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value with +/- 0.5 dB accuracy
• Operates from DC to 40 GHz frequency range
• 2.92mm male to female connector interface
• Handles 2 Watts of power input

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in test and measurement setups
• Attenuation in microwave communication systems
• Integration into high-frequency circuit boards requiring precise signal reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the P1AT-29MF-40G2W-6 to confirm current electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the 2.92mm connector polarity matches your system requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for any updates on material composition or environmental ratings before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is required within a 40 GHz bandwidth. The 2.92mm interface ensures low-loss performance compared to larger connectors. Consider the 2 Watt power rating against your system's maximum signal levels. Verify impedance matching to 50 Ohms to maintain signal integrity in high-frequency applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to P1dB Inc's series of fixed-value RF attenuators designed for high-frequency applications. The model number indicates the connector type (2.92mm), frequency limit (40 GHz), power rating (2W), and attenuation value (6 dB). These components are typically used in environments requiring stable signal reduction without variable adjustment capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6 dB, 2.92mm, 40 GHz attenuators from P1dB such as the P1AT-29MF-40G1W-6 if lower power handling is acceptable. Ensure connector gender and impedance match exactly. Verify that alternative parts meet the same VSWR and accuracy specifications.
