HMC656LP2E to HMC658LP2E v01.0308 WIDEBAND FIXED ATTENUATOR FAMILY, DC - 25 GHz HMC656LP2E / HMC657LP2E / HMC658LP2E Typical Applications Features The HMC656LP2E - HMC658LP2E are ideal for: 3 Attenuator Products: 10, 15, & 20 dB Fixed Attenuation Levels • Fiber Optics Wide Bandwidth: DC - 25 GHz • Microwave Radio Excellent Attenuation Accuracy • Military & Space Power Handling: +25 dBm • Test & Measurement 6 Lead 2x2mm SMT Package: 4mm2 • Scientific Instruments Functional Diagrams General Description PASSIVES - SMT 12 • RF / Microwave Circuit Prototyping The HMC656LP2E / 657LP2E / 658LP2E are a line of wideband fixed value SMT 50 Ohm matched attenuators which offer relative attenuation levels of 10, 15 and 20 dB respectively. These passive attenuators are ideal for military, test equipment, and other wideband applications where extremely flat attenuation, and excellent VSWR vs. frequency are required. These wideband attenuators handle up to +25 dBm of input power, and are compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.
