General Description

RCAT-03+ (RoHS compliant) is a wideband fixed attenuator with excellent attenuation accuracy and flatness.

It can handle up to 2W. The integrated circuits comprising of thin film resistors is bonded in an optimized multi

layer integrated LTCC substrate, and then hermetically sealed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere with

gold-plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These attenuators have been tested to MIL requirements for

gross leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL.
