SA6TFTM100W-10

Attenuators Overview

The SA6TFTM100W-10 is a fixed directional attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF interconnect applications. It features TNC female-to-TNC male connectors and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component provides a nominal attenuation value of 10 dB with a maximum VSWR of 1.45. It is rated for continuous power handling up to 100 watts and utilizes a heatsink body construction to manage thermal dissipation effectively during high-power operation.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Directional attenuation design for signal level control
• Heatsink body construction for thermal management
• High power handling capability up to 100 watts

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal conditioning in communication systems
• High-power microwave circuit integration

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration and attenuation tolerance against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the operating environment temperature aligns with the component's thermal ratings due to the high power handling specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing TNC interfaces in the system architecture.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a 10 dB fixed attenuation value is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The 100-watt power rating necessitates the use of a heatsink body, distinguishing it from lower-power variants. Consider the directional nature of the attenuator if isolation characteristics are relevant to the specific application circuit.

Attenuators Part Context

This component belongs to Fairview Microwave's series of connectorized attenuators. It serves as a passive RF interconnect device used to reduce signal amplitude without significant reflection. The TNC interface ensures secure connections in demanding environments, while the internal resistive network provides precise attenuation across the specified bandwidth.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify exact parameter matching for frequency, power, and attenuation if cross-referencing with other manufacturers' products.
