XRA30AA30SES

Overview

The XRA30AA30SES is a surface-mount RF attenuator manufactured by TTM Technologies, Inc. It provides a fixed attenuation of 30 dB with a frequency range spanning from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a power rating of 30 Watts. It utilizes aluminum nitride (AlN) technology for thermal management and is housed in a 3-SMD, no-lead package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes aluminum nitride substrate technology as a high-performance alternative to beryllium oxide
• Designed specifically for LTE and 5G wireless communication frequency bands
• Supports high-power operation up to 30 Watts in a compact surface-mount form factor

Applications

• LTE wireless infrastructure systems
• 5G mobile communication networks
• RF signal conditioning circuits
