R422106040

Overview

The R422106040 is a TNC in-line RF attenuator manufactured by Radiall USA, Inc. It provides a fixed attenuation of 6 dB with a maximum operating frequency of 6 GHz and a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device supports a power handling capacity of 150 W and operates within a frequency range starting from 0 Hz.

Feature Summary

• In-line module design for direct series integration into coaxial transmission lines
• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value for precise signal level control
• High power handling capability suitable for demanding RF environments

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring stable attenuation
• Microwave circuit protection and signal management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm mechanical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing TNC mating connectors regarding gender and interface standards. Confirm that the 150 W power rating aligns with the thermal management capabilities of the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard coaxial systems. Consider the 150 W power rating for high-power applications where lower-rated attenuators would fail. Verify that the in-line form factor fits the available space in the assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Radiall USA, Inc. family of RF attenuators. It utilizes the robust TNC connector interface, known for reliability in industrial and military applications. The component serves as a passive device to manage signal strength without introducing active electronic complexity or requiring external power sources.

Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 6 dB attenuation, 50 Ohm impedance, and 6 GHz frequency limit. Verify that replacement units support the same 150 W power handling and utilize compatible TNC interfaces to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
