Product Overview

VST-U-24XX0202-50G is a 50 Ω 2.4 mm male-to-female precision fixed attenuator series covering DC to 50 GHz. The series is available in 1–10 dB nominal attenuation values, plus 20 and 30 dB options, for fixed level reduction in broadband RF and millimeter-wave measurement paths.

The attenuators are rated for 2 W at 25°C, with a maximum VSWR below 1.45. Peak power is specified at 200 W for a 5 μs pulse width and 1% duty cycle. The series uses gold-plated 2.4 mm connector interfaces with a passivated stainless-steel body.
