P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-8

Overview

The P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-8 is an RF coaxial attenuator manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides a fixed attenuation of 8 dB with an operating frequency range from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component features SMA connectors in a male-to-female configuration and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. Designed for 50 Ohm systems, it maintains a maximum VSWR of 1.20 across its specified bandwidth.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 8 dB attenuation value
• SMA male to female connector interface
• DC to 6 GHz operational frequency range
• 2 Watt maximum power handling

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Microwave circuit testing
• Signal path isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-8 against manufacturer documentation to confirm the 8 dB attenuation value and SMA connector orientation. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm system impedance and 2 Watt power requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 8 dB reduction is required within a DC to 6 GHz bandwidth. Consider the SMA male-to-female form factor for inline installation and verify that the 2 Watt power rating meets the application's signal strength constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to the P1AT series of coaxial attenuators from P1dB Inc. Similar variants include P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-5 (5 dB) and P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-6 (6 dB), sharing the same SMA interface and 6 GHz frequency limit but differing in attenuation values.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other P1AT models with identical SMA interfaces and 6 GHz limits, such as P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-6 or P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-10, provided the attenuation difference is acceptable for the circuit design.
