SMA attenuator, 30 dB, 30 W, DC–12.4 GHz – Microwave Power Series

SMA 30 dB Coaxial RF Power Attenuator, 30 W, DC–12.4 GHz – Microwave Power Series

This SMA 30 dB coaxial RF power attenuator is designed for microwave applications requiring compact size, high RF power handling and wideband performance. Operating from DC to 12.4 GHz with a continuous power rating of 30 W, it provides stable attenuation and predictable behaviour in demanding RF and microwave systems.

The wideband DC–12.4 GHz response makes this attenuator suitable for sub-6 GHz wireless, C-band and lower X-band applications, including telecom infrastructure, radar front-ends, point-to-point links and high-frequency test setups. It is an excellent choice whenever a fixed 30 dB microwave power attenuator is required in a compact SMA format.

The unidirectional design ensures optimal thermal and electrical performance when used in the specified orientation, while the rugged SMA male–female interface and high-efficiency heatsink construction support continuous 30 W RF power operation. Precision resistive elements and quality materials provide long-term stability and reliability in both laboratory and field environments.
