TFA32C01DBER

Overview

The TFA32C01DBER is a fixed thin film RF attenuator manufactured by Ohmite, designed for surface-mount applications in the 1206 package. It provides an attenuation value of 1 dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a single channel configuration. The component operates within a frequency range up to 20 GHz, maintaining a maximum Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes thin film technology for stable RF performance
• Designed for high-frequency operation up to 20 GHz
• Fixed attenuation value suitable for precise signal control

Applications

• Wireless communication systems
• RF test and measurement equipment
• Signal conditioning circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the 1206 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Ensure thermal management strategies align with the specified operating temperature limits during final assembly and system validation processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 1 dB attenuation is required in a compact 1206 form factor. Consider the 20 GHz frequency limit and 50 Ohm impedance match for compatibility with existing RF traces. Evaluate the thin film construction benefits against other technologies if long-term stability under varying thermal conditions is critical for the application.
