High Frequency Surface Mountable Chip Attenuators: TSX Series
Source: Smiths Interconnect
The TSX Series of chip attenuators pushes the boundaries of Size, Weight and Power in a cost effective, easy to implement surface mount solution, suitable for a wide array of applications.
The TSX series offers excellent broadband RF performance to 50 GHz while delivering increased power handling in a small surface mount format factor. The chip attenuator design offers 1 to 3 watts of power handling performance and multiple attenuation values are available for surface mounting. The use of a robust, proven all thin film proces technology on an alumina substrate provides a product suitable for harsh environments, such as those of Space and Defense applications.
