P1AT-SAMF-18G2W-6

Overview

The P1AT-SAMF-18G2W-6 is a fixed RF coaxial attenuator manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides a nominal attenuation of 6 dB across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component operates with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. It utilizes an SMA connector interface, featuring a male-to-female in-line module configuration. This design ensures bi-directional signal flow capability for standard RF applications.

Feature Summary

• Bi-directional signal transmission capability
• SMA male to female in-line module configuration
• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement equipment
• Impedance matching within microwave circuits
• Signal conditioning in wireless communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from P1dB Inc to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector tolerances. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified 2 Watt power limit and 18 GHz frequency range. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required for your assembly process. Cross-reference the SMA gender configuration to ensure compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is required up to 18 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF systems. The SMA interface offers reliable connectivity for benchtop or embedded use. Consider the 2 Watt power rating against peak signal levels. The in-line module form factor suits direct cable integration without additional mounting hardware.

Part Context

This part belongs to the P1dB Inc RF Attenuators category. It is designed as a standalone coaxial component rather than an integrated circuit. The product line focuses on passive RF components for high-frequency applications. The model designation indicates specific electrical and mechanical parameters defined by the manufacturer's internal coding system.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in available documentation. Direct replacement requires identical 6 dB attenuation, 18 GHz bandwidth, 50 Ohm impedance, and SMA male-to-female interface. Verify that any alternative component meets the same 2 Watt power handling specification and bi-directional operation requirements.
