SF0915-6200-08

Attenuators Overview

The SF0915-6200-08 is a fixed attenuator from Amphenol SV Microwave designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 40 GHz and provides a nominal attenuation of 8 dB. The component features SMA male-to-female connectors and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. It has a power rating of 500 mW and functions reliably across a temperature range of -65°C to +165°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides precise 8 dB signal attenuation in an inline module configuration
• Operates at frequencies up to 40 GHz with SMA connector interfaces
• Supports continuous power handling of 500 mW

Attenuators Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment requiring stable attenuation
• Microwave communication systems operating at Ka-band frequencies
• Signal conditioning in high-frequency circuit designs

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender combination (SMA Male to Female) against system requirements, as variations exist within the series. Confirm that the 500 mW power rating aligns with peak operational loads. Ensure the 40 GHz frequency limit meets application bandwidth needs. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Validate physical dimensions for PCB or panel mounting constraints before ordering.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 8 dB reduction is required without variable adjustment capabilities. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate the thermal management requirements given the 500 mW dissipation limit. Compare against other attenuation values in the SF0915 series if different signal levels are needed. Ensure the wide temperature range suits the intended operating environment.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the SF0915 series of connectorized attenuators manufactured by Amphenol SV Microwave. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical performance up to 40 GHz. These components are designed for reliable interconnect solutions in demanding RF environments.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

SF0915-6200-01 is a similar attenuator in the same series but provides 1 dB of attenuation instead of 8 dB. Other variants like SF0915-6200-04 offer 4 dB attenuation. Verify that the connector type and impedance remain compatible when substituting.
