ATTENUATORS
HighPowerDC-4GHz
The Aeroflex/Inmet PPA Series of attenuators utilize a Beryllium
Oxide chip and thin film technology to provide devices which
can dissipate up to 100 Watts of RF power. The PPA series
must be thermally bonded to a heat sink, using the mounting
holes provided, in order to operate within the temperature
rating indicated. The flange temperatures must not exceed
100C under rated power conditions.
