SA6DFDM100W-30

Attenuators Overview

The SA6DFDM100W-30 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for high-power applications up to 100 Watts. It provides a precise attenuation value of 30 dB within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes 7/16 connectors, specifically configured as a female jack to male plug inline module. It incorporates a heatsink body for thermal management and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.45.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• High power handling capability rated at 100 Watts for robust signal control
• Wideband operational performance covering DC to 6 GHz frequencies
• Integrated heatsink body design to ensure effective thermal dissipation during operation

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal path attenuation in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring precise signal level reduction
• High-power amplifier output stage protection

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (Female to Male) against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 100 Watt power rating aligns with peak signal levels in the application. Ensure the 7/16 interface compatibility matches existing cabling infrastructure. Check current availability status as supply may vary.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 30 dB fixed attenuation is required in the 6 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 7/16 connector type for high-power interconnect needs. Evaluate the physical dimensions and mounting options provided in the datasheet. Compare VSWR specifications against system return loss requirements to ensure signal integrity.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's series of connectorized attenuators. It is part of a family offering various attenuation values and power ratings. The product line focuses on providing reliable passive components for RF and microwave environments. Similar models exist with different attenuation values or connector types within the same series.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include SA6DFDM100W-06 and SA6DFDM100W-50 from Fairview Microwave. These alternatives offer different attenuation values while maintaining similar power and frequency characteristics. Verify connector gender and exact dB rating when substituting.
