WA04P005XBTL

Overview

The WA04P005XBTL is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Walsin Technology Corporation. It provides a nominal attenuation of 5 dB with a tolerance of +/-0.3 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and features a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It supports a maximum power rating of 100 mW and maintains a maximum VSWR of 1.2. The component utilizes ceramic technology and is housed in an SMD package.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation for radio frequency applications
• Operates effectively across a wide frequency spectrum up to 3 GHz
• Designed for surface mount assembly processes

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in wireless communication systems
• Impedance matching networks in electronic circuits
• Signal level adjustment in test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number WA04P005XBTL against official Walsin documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the received components match the specified 5 dB attenuation and 50 Ohm impedance parameters. Check for physical integrity of the ceramic package and verify compliance with RoHS standards as indicated in the product specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms. Ensure the application frequency does not exceed 3 GHz. Verify that the 100 mW power handling capability meets the circuit requirements. Consider the ceramic construction and SMD form factor for compatibility with the manufacturing process.

Part Context

This component belongs to the WA04P series of RF attenuators from Walsin Technology Corporation. The series includes various attenuation values such as 4 dB, 7 dB, and others, all sharing similar electrical characteristics like 50 Ohm impedance and a 3 GHz maximum frequency. These devices are designed for consistent performance in high-frequency applications.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 5 dB fixed attenuators from Walsin with identical electrical specifications, such as the WA04P005XATL if available. Ensure any replacement matches the 50 Ohm impedance, 3 GHz frequency limit, and 100 mW power rating. Verify package compatibility for surface mount installation.
