PAT0510S-C-3DB-T10

Overview

The Susumu PAT0510S-C-3DB-T10 is a high-precision thin-film RF attenuator designed for surface-mount applications. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 3dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 10 GHz and supports a maximum power dissipation of 32mW. It is housed in a compact 0402 (1005 Metric) package, ensuring compatibility with standard SMD/SMT assembly processes.

Feature Summary

• High-precision thin-film construction ensures stable attenuation performance across the operational bandwidth.
• Wide frequency coverage from DC to 10 GHz suitable for broadband RF signal conditioning.
• Compact 0402 surface-mount footprint optimizes PCB space utilization.

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation in wireless communication systems
• Impedance matching networks in test and measurement equipment
• Signal level adjustment in mobile device front-end modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number PAT0510S-C-3DB-T10 against official Susumu documentation to confirm authenticity. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel configuration. Cross-reference the specific revision history if critical tolerance adherence is required for the design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest datasheet before final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 3dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms within a 0402 package. Consider the 32mW power rating and 10 GHz frequency limit relative to system requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs due to low power handling. Compare against other values in the PAT0510S series if different attenuation levels are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Susumu PAT0510S series of high-precision chip attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values ranging from 0dB to 10dB in the same 0402 package. These components utilize thin-film technology for superior stability compared to thick-film alternatives, making them suitable for demanding RF applications requiring consistent performance over temperature variations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Susumu parts from the PAT0510S series with identical packaging but different attenuation values, such as PAT0510S-C-1DB-T10 or PAT0510S-C-5DB-T10, if system parameters allow modification. Verify pinout and electrical specifications match before substitution.
