TFA20C08DBER

Overview

The TFA20C08DBER is a single-channel RF attenuator manufactured by Ohmite, designed for wireless and radio frequency integrated circuit applications. It utilizes thin film technology to provide an attenuation value of 8 dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The component operates within a frequency range up to a maximum of 20 GHz and maintains a maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. It supports an operating temperature range from -40 C to +125 C and is available in an 0805 surface mount package.

Feature Summary

• Employs thin film construction for stable RF signal attenuation
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 20 GHz
• Designed for integration into wireless and RF circuits

Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• RF integrated circuit design
• Signal conditioning in high-frequency electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Ohmite documentation to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the 0805 package dimensions and electrical specifications align with the target PCB layout. Check current availability status through authorized distributors as supply conditions may vary. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end product regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 8 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms impedance. Consider the 0805 footprint for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 20 GHz frequency limit and 125 C thermal rating against operational extremes. Compare against other values in the TFA series if different attenuation levels are needed.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Ohmite TFA series of surface mount RF attenuators. It is categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits. The series offers various attenuation values and package sizes, including 0603 and 1206 options, to suit different power and size constraints in modern electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Ohmite documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference technical parameters such as attenuation value, frequency range, and package type before substitution.
