PAT0510S-C-1DB-T10

Overview

The Susumu PAT0510S-C-1DB-T10 is a high precision chip attenuator from the PAT series, designed for surface mount applications. It provides a fixed attenuation of 1 dB with a tolerance of 0.3 dB at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 10 GHz and supports a maximum power rating of 32 mW. Encased in a compact 0402 (1005 Metric) package, it features a maximum VSWR of 1.3 and functions within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes thin film silicon technology for stable RF performance
• Designed for high precision signal attenuation in compact layouts
• Supports wideband operation from DC up to 10 GHz

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T10 corresponds to the required packaging format, such as cut tape or reel, against official distributor listings. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the 0402 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low insertion loss value of 1 dB is required in space-constrained designs. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -55°C to +125°C temperature range and does not exceed the 32 mW power dissipation limit to maintain long-term reliability and accuracy.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Susumu PAT series of thin film attenuators, which offers various attenuation values from 0 dB to 10 dB. These components are engineered for high stability and repeatability in RF and microwave applications, providing a reliable solution for precise signal control in modern electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other parts in the PAT series with different attenuation values if system requirements change. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 0402 package dimensions and 50 Ohm impedance to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the circuit board.
