Dimensions in inches over millimeters. 3. Dimensions marked with * apply only at body. 4. All unmarked terminals are ground. General Notes: 1. The AEF-35A-500 is a constant impedance, voltage controlled, PIN diode π, network variable attenuator covering 10 to 1,000 MHz. 2. Careful design of thick film resistive pads and detailed selection of suitable PIN diodes provide a wide operating bandwidth and attenuation range. Units with closely controlled phase shift are available as AFF-20A series. 3. Screened versions with extended reliability components are available on request for Hi-Reliability and similar applications. 23Feb96 For further information contac MERRIMAC t / 41 Fairfield Pl., West Caldwell, NJ, 07006 / 973-575-1300 / FAX 973-575-0531
