PAT3060H-C-3DB-T1

Overview

The PAT3060H-C-3DB-T1 is a high-power chip attenuator manufactured by Susumu, designed for RF applications. It provides a fixed attenuation of 3 dB with a 50 Ohm impedance. The component operates within a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 5 Watts. It features a low maximum VSWR of 1.2 and utilizes silicon technology. The device is housed in a 2412 size package (2-SMD, No Lead) and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High power handling capability of 5W for robust signal management
• Wide frequency operation from DC to 6 GHz
• Low voltage standing wave ratio ensuring signal integrity
• Silicon-based construction for thermal stability

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise attenuation
• Base station infrastructure components
• Satellite communication transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix T1 corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging configuration before ordering. Confirm that the 2412 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the 5W power rating aligns with the peak power requirements of the application circuit to prevent thermal damage during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3 dB attenuation is required in high-power RF environments. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for system compatibility. Evaluate the 2412 package size against available board space. Verify that the 6 GHz upper frequency limit meets the operational bandwidth needs of the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Susumu PAT series of high-power chip attenuators. It shares the same physical package and general specifications as other variants in the series, such as the PAT3060H-C-5DB-T1 and PAT3060H-C-10DB-T1, differing primarily in the fixed attenuation value. The series is characterized by its ability to handle significant power levels in compact surface-mount formats.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PAT3060H-C-3DB-T1 units from authorized distributors. Cross-model replacements within the same series require matching the 3 dB attenuation value, 50 Ohm impedance, and 5W power rating. Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility when considering alternative manufacturers.
