Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and mating compatibility before integration. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating aligns with peak system requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature limits. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Validate the 10 GHz frequency cutoff against application bandwidth needs.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Choose this model when SMP connectivity is required for compact RF designs. Select for applications needing precise 6 dB attenuation at frequencies up to 10 GHz. Consider the 2 Watt power limit for moderate signal levels. Opt for the stainless steel body if environmental robustness is necessary. Verify impedance matching for 50 Ohm systems.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's line of connectorized attenuators. It serves as a passive RF element for signal management. The SMA and N-type variants offer similar functions with different interfaces. This specific model focuses on SMP connectivity for space-constrained applications.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

SA10P2W-10 offers 10 dB attenuation with identical connectors. SA10P2W-03 provides 3 dB attenuation for lower loss requirements. SA18P2W-06 extends frequency capability to 18 GHz with the same interface.
