P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-9

Overview

The P1AT-SAMF-6G2W-9 is an in-line RF attenuator module manufactured by P1dB Inc. It provides a fixed attenuation of 9 dB with a frequency range from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component operates at a maximum power handling of 2 Watts and features SMA male-to-SMA female connectors. It maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms, ensuring compatibility with standard RF systems.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 9 dB attenuation value for precise signal level control
• Broadband operation covering DC to 6 GHz frequency spectrum
• SMA male to SMA female connector configuration for direct integration
• 2 Watt maximum power handling capability for robust performance

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise signal reduction
• Receiver input protection in high-power transmission environments
• Impedance matching networks within coaxial RF circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official P1dB Inc documentation to confirm connector orientation and tolerance specifications. Ensure that the required attenuation accuracy and VSWR limits meet your system design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 9 dB reduction is required within a 6 GHz bandwidth. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating exceeds the expected signal levels in your application. Verify that SMA connectors align with existing PCB or cable assemblies to ensure mechanical fit.

Part Context

This component belongs to the P1AT series of coaxial attenuators from P1dB Inc. The series offers various fixed attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across the product line. It serves as a passive linear device for managing RF signal strength.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other P1AT series models with identical 9 dB attenuation and SMA interfaces. Cross-reference with equivalent SMA attenuators from other manufacturers only if they match the 6 GHz frequency range and 2 Watt power handling specifications exactly.
