P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-1

Overview

The P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-1 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides a nominal attenuation of 1 dB with an operating frequency range from DC to 6 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and handles up to 2 Watts of power. It utilizes SMA connectors in an in-line male-to-female configuration, designed for coaxial signal path integration.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 1 dB fixed attenuation for signal level adjustment
• Operates across a wide bandwidth from DC to 6 GHz
• Supports high power handling up to 2 Watts
• Features robust SMA male-to-female coaxial interface

Applications

• RF signal chain calibration and testing
• Microwave system power management
• Signal attenuation in communication equipment
• Laboratory measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct attenuation value and connector orientation. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference datasheet electrical parameters such as VSWR and insertion loss with application requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-value 1 dB attenuation is required within a 50 Ohm system operating up to 6 GHz. Ensure the SMA male-to-female form factor matches the existing cable or fixture interfaces. Validate that the 2 Watt power rating exceeds the maximum expected signal power in the application to prevent component damage.

Part Context

This model belongs to the P1AT series of coaxial attenuators from P1dB Inc. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent SMA connectivity and 50 Ohm impedance. The SAMF designation indicates the specific SMA female-to-male connector configuration used in this variant.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other models within the P1AT-SAMF-6G2W series with matching 1 dB attenuation. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same DC to 6 GHz frequency range and 2 Watt power handling capabilities to ensure functional equivalence.
