WA04P016XFTL

Overview

The WA04P016XFTL is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Walsin Technology Corporation. It provides a nominal attenuation of 16 dB with a 50 Ohm impedance, suitable for signal conditioning in RF and microwave circuits operating from DC to 3 GHz. The device features a maximum power dissipation of 100 mW and a maximum VSWR of 1.2. It utilizes a 0404 (1010 metric) convex surface-mount package, measuring 1 mm in length, 1 mm in width, and 0.45 mm in height. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +155°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 16 dB signal attenuation for RF applications
• Maintains stable 50 Ohm impedance across the operational frequency band
• Features low voltage standing wave ratio for efficient signal transmission
• Designed for high-temperature reliability up to 155°C

Applications

• RF and microwave circuit signal conditioning
• Test and measurement equipment signal levels
• Wireless communication system components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X' against official Walsin documentation to confirm tolerance and packaging details. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance certificates. Confirm that the supplier offers traceability for the 0404 convex package type. Validate the manufacturer part number directly with Walsin Technology Corporation before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 16 dB attenuation is required at 50 Ohms. Consider the 100 mW power rating for signal level management. The 0404 footprint suits compact PCB layouts. Verify the 3 GHz upper frequency limit meets application needs. Check thermal requirements against the 155°C maximum operating temperature specification.
