AF Series 0603 RF/Microwave Attenuator GENERAL DESCRIPTON AVXs new RF/Microwave SMT Attenuator Series (AF) is manufactured with the highest quality materials for reliable and repeatable performance. These devices are constructed with Aluminum Nitride (AIN) and are available in a standard EIA 0603 case size. The AF Series exhibits excellent performance characteristics for the most demanding RF/Microwave applications The AF series provides virtually flat loss over a broad frequency spectrum. Thin film metalization provides for very stable characteristics over temperature and time. Its balanced PI design provides even current distribution and The non-magnetic termination is available providing a accurate attenuation characteristics from DC to 20 GHz. range of attachment options such as eutectic diebonding, It is designed to meet a wide range of RF and microwave conductive epoxies, and soldering. The AF is fully compatible with high speed automated pick-and-place large and small signal level applications. The AF is ideal for impedance matching, input padding, signal level processing. runing, and many other critical RF/Microwave applications. The AF is rated highest power in class and is suitable for Note: Consult Factory for other attenuation values, microstrip and CPW applications. termination style and case sizes.
