PAT3060H-C-5DB-T1

Overview

The PAT3060H-C-5DB-T1 is a high-power chip attenuator manufactured by Susumu. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 5dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The component supports a frequency range from DC to 6GHz and handles a maximum power rating of 5W. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a 2412 (2-SMD, No Lead) surface-mount package. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• High power handling capability for robust signal management
• Wideband operation supporting frequencies up to 6GHz
• Silicon-based construction for thermal stability

Applications

• RF signal path power reduction
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Wireless communication system integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T1' corresponds to the required tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the 5W power rating aligns with the thermal dissipation requirements of the target application environment. Ensure the 2412 footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise VSWR specifications relevant to high-frequency performance needs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5dB attenuation is required in a 50-Ohm system operating up to 6GHz. The 5W power rating distinguishes it from lower-power alternatives suitable for high-signal environments. Consider the 2412 package size for board space limitations. Verify compatibility with standard SMT reflow processes given the leadless design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PAT series of high-power chip attenuators from Susumu. It shares the same physical footprint and general electrical characteristics as other variants in the family, such as the 1dB, 2dB, 3dB, and 10dB versions. The primary differentiator is the specific attenuation value, allowing designers to choose the exact signal reduction needed while maintaining consistent thermal and mechanical properties across the series.

Replacement Considerations

Other values in the PAT3060H-C series, such as PAT3060H-C-1DB-T1 or PAT3060H-C-10DB-T1, share the same package and power ratings but offer different attenuation levels. Direct substitutes with identical 5dB attenuation may exist from other manufacturers using compatible 2412 footprints, though electrical parameters like VSWR should be compared.
