PAT0510S-C-9DB-T10

Overview

The PAT0510S-C-9DB-T10 is a high precision fixed chip attenuator manufactured by Susumu. It provides a nominal attenuation of 9 dB with a tolerance of ±0.7 dB at a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates from DC to 10 GHz and supports a maximum continuous wave input power of 32 mW (15.05 dBm). It features a low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.3 max. The component is housed in an SMD 0402 package, constructed using silicon technology, and is rated for operation between -55°C and +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High precision attenuation performance with tight tolerance specifications
• Wideband operational capability extending from DC to 10 GHz
• Compact surface-mount construction suitable for dense PCB layouts

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix T10 against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the 0402 package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Ensure the selected component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 9 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system. Consider the 32 mW power rating to ensure thermal stability under continuous operation. Evaluate the 0402 package size constraints against available board space. Verify frequency coverage requirements do not exceed the 10 GHz upper limit.
