SA18H-00

Attenuators Overview

The SA18H-00 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF interconnect applications. It provides 0 dB attenuation with SMA male (plug) to SMA female (jack) connectors. The device operates from DC to 18 GHz and features a passivated stainless steel body. It has a power rating of 2 Watts, an impedance of 50 Ohms, and a VSWR of 1.35:1. The operating temperature range spans from -54°C to +125°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Constructs a zero-decibel signal path using SMA male to SMA female interfaces
• Maintains stable performance across a frequency range extending to 18 GHz
• Utilizes a passivated stainless steel housing for durability

Attenuators Applications

• Signal routing in RF test and measurement setups
• Interconnecting components requiring matched impedance without loss
• Prototype development circuits

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific attenuation value against project requirements, as this model represents a 0 dB configuration. Confirm connector gender compatibility and frequency limits match the system design. Check RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified power rating and temperature range during operation.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Choose this component when a direct connection is needed without signal reduction. Compare specifications against other models in the series if variable attenuation is required. Verify that the SMA interface type suits the existing hardware infrastructure. Assess whether the 2 Watt power handling capacity meets the application's peak and continuous power demands.
