WA04P013XDTL

Overview

The WA04P013XDTL is a surface-mount RF attenuator manufactured by Walsin Technology Corporation. It provides a nominal attenuation of 13 dB with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates up to a maximum frequency of 3 GHz and features a VSWR of 1.2. It has a power rating of 100 mW and withstands a working voltage of 50 V. The component functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It utilizes a 0404 package footprint for SMD/SMT installation.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation in RF circuits
• Supports high-frequency operation up to 3 GHz
• Designed for surface mount technology integration

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Wireless communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DTL' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging configuration, as suffixes often denote tape and reel specifications or tolerance variations. Ensure the procurement documentation explicitly references the WA04P series ceramic construction and confirms compliance with RoHS standards before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 13 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms impedance. Consider the 100 mW power handling limit and the 3 GHz frequency ceiling. The wide operating temperature range supports demanding environments. Verify that the 0404 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WA04P series of attenuators from Walsin Technology Corporation. The series includes various attenuation values such as 7 dB, 12 dB, and 15 dB. These components are categorized under wireless and RF integrated circuits, designed for consistent performance across different RF applications requiring signal level control.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include WA04P012XDTL (12 dB) and WA04P015XFTL (15 dB). When replacing, verify that the new part number matches the required attenuation value and maintains the same 50 Ohm impedance and 0404 package form factor.
