WA04P007XCTL

Overview

The WA04P007XCTL is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Walsin Technology Corporation. It provides a nominal attenuation of 7 dB with a tolerance of ±0.4 dB. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and features a 50 Ohm impedance. It has a maximum VSWR of 1.2 and supports a power handling capacity of 100 mW. The device is housed in a 0404 (1010 Metric) convex surface-mount package, suitable for high-frequency circuit applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 7 dB signal attenuation with tight ±0.4 dB tolerance for accurate signal level control.
• Operates effectively across a wide bandwidth from DC to 3 GHz with low VSWR for minimal signal reflection.
• Designed for surface mount integration in compact 0404 packages to support automated PCB assembly.

Applications

• RF signal path conditioning in wireless communication modules
• Impedance matching networks in microwave circuits
• Signal level adjustment in test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant upon ordering, as datasheets may list both convex and concave configurations for the WA04P series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the selected supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for any specific storage or handling requirements related to moisture sensitivity levels before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 7 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms up to 3 GHz. Ensure the application power does not exceed 100 mW. Compare against other WA04P series values if different attenuation levels are needed. Verify that the 0404 footprint matches the design layout constraints.
