XRA10AA30SES

Overview

The XRA10AA30SES is a surface-mount chip attenuator manufactured by TTM Technologies. It provides a fixed attenuation of 30 dB with a frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component operates at a 50 Ohm impedance and supports a power rating of 10 W. It utilizes Aluminum Nitride (AIN) technology for thermal management. The device features a 3-SMD, no-lead package suitable for SMD/SMT installation. It functions within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• High-power handling capability utilizing robust Aluminum Nitride substrate technology
• Wideband operational performance covering DC to 6 GHz frequencies
• Surface-mount design optimized for automated assembly processes

Applications

• RF signal path power level control in wireless communication systems
• Impedance matching networks requiring precise attenuation values
• Test and measurement equipment signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official TTM documentation to ensure correct termination and packaging specifications. Confirm that the required attenuation value aligns with system design constraints before procurement. Ensure compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for AIN-based components. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30 dB reduction is required in high-frequency circuits up to 6 GHz. Consider the 10 W power rating for applications involving significant signal power levels. Evaluate the 3-SMD footprint dimensions against available PCB real estate. Compare thermal dissipation requirements against the capabilities of the Aluminum Nitride construction relative to alternative substrates.

Part Context

This part belongs to the XRA10 series of RF attenuators from TTM Technologies. The series offers various fixed attenuation values while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across the family. Components in this line are designed for reliable performance in demanding RF environments, providing standardized solutions for signal attenuation needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other XRA10 series variants such as XRA10AA20SES or XRA10AA5SES if different attenuation values are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when considering cross-model replacements within the same manufacturer portfolio.
