SA6H-04

Attenuators Overview

The SA6H-04 is a fixed attenuator from Fairview Microwave, designed for RF applications up to 6 GHz. It provides a nominal attenuation of 4 dB with a 50 Ohm impedance. The device features SMA connectors, specifically a male plug on one side and a female jack on the other. It is rated for 2 Watts of power handling and maintains a VSWR of 1.35:1. Constructed with a passivated stainless steel body, it operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 4 dB signal attenuation in a compact inline module design.
• Features SMA male-to-female connector interface for easy integration.
• Constructed with a passivated stainless steel body for durability.

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement setups
• Impedance matching between RF components
• Signal conditioning in communication systems

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the SA6H-04 to confirm current RoHS compliance status and detailed mechanical drawings. Ensure that the SMA connector gender configuration (Male to Female) matches the system requirements before integration. Cross-reference the 2W power rating against actual operating conditions to prevent thermal issues.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 4 dB attenuation is required within the 0 Hz to 6 GHz frequency range. The SMA interface makes it suitable for standard RF testing environments. Consider the 2W power rating and stainless steel construction for robustness in moderate power applications where higher power handling is not critical.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the Fairview Microwave series of connectorized attenuators. It is part of a family offering various attenuation values and frequency ranges, utilizing similar SMA connector types and stainless steel housing designs to ensure consistency across different RF system configurations.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 4 dB SMA fixed attenuators from Fairview Microwave or compatible third-party manufacturers offering identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. Verify connector gender orientation and frequency range compatibility when sourcing alternatives.
