XRA10AA10SES

Overview

The XRA10AA10SES is a fixed RF chip attenuator manufactured by TTM Technologies. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a frequency range from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component operates at a 50 Ohm impedance and supports a power rating of 10 Watts. It utilizes Aluminum Nitride (AIN) technology for thermal management. The device is housed in a 3-SMD, No Lead package suitable for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Aluminum Nitride substrate technology for high thermal conductivity
• Supports surface mount installation via SMD package
• Maintains stable performance across a wide frequency spectrum

Applications

• RF signal path power level adjustment
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Wireless communication system signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official TTM Technologies documentation to ensure compatibility with design requirements. Confirm that the 3-SMD package dimensions align with PCB layout constraints. Check current supply status through authorized distributors as availability may vary. Ensure handling procedures account for the component's sensitivity to electrostatic discharge during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10 dB attenuation value is required within the 6 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 10 Watt power handling capability for high-power RF applications. Verify that the 50 Ohm system impedance matches the circuit design. Evaluate the thermal requirements of the application to leverage the AIN substrate benefits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XRA10 series of fixed attenuators from TTM Technologies. The series offers various attenuation values including 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 dB options. All variants share similar electrical characteristics regarding frequency range and power handling, differing primarily in their specific attenuation levels and package pin configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other models from the same XRA10 series such as XRA10AA1SES, XRA10AA2SES, XRA10AA5SES, and XRA10AA20SES. These parts share identical frequency ranges, power ratings, and substrate technologies but provide different attenuation values. Ensure the selected replacement matches the required dB loss for the specific circuit application.
