The new TSX WB2 Series is qualified to MIL-PRF-55342 and designed to offer excellent broadband performance up to 50-GHz, while delivering increased power handling in a small 0404 wire bondable package.<\/p>\n<p>It allows wider coverage than traditional components while providing optimized return loss for multiple frequency ranges. This allows the customer to use a single chip in multiple applications, reducing the Bill of Material (BOM) item count and consequently, the cost of ownership. The new TSX WB2 series can be ordered in group A, B or C testing based on MIL-PRF-55342. Qualification data is included with product delivery for program assurance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe TSX Wire Bondable series is a cost-effective wire bondable attenuator solution\u201d, said<strong>&nbsp;Tullio Panerello<\/strong>, Vice President and General Manager of the Fibre Optics and RF Components Business Unit at Smiths Interconnect.<strong><\/strong> &#8220;It provides another chip attenuator option with excellent attenuation performance, compact in size, and provides MIL spec test data for program assurance\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The chip attenuator&#8217;s design for mission-critical applications offers 1 to 3 watts of power handling performance and multiple attenuation values. The use of a robust, proven all-thin film process technology on an alumina nitride substrate provides a product suitable for harsh environments, such as those of Space and Defence applications.<\/p>\n<p>Smiths Interconnect\u2019s TSX WB2 Series is a compact qualified unique solution reducing the bill of material and offers the following features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small form factor &#8211; Reduces overall footprint<\/li>\n<li>Space Qualified \u2013 Per MIL-PRF-55342<\/li>\n<li>Wire Bondable \u2013 Ideal for chip and wire applications<\/li>\n<li>Broad frequency range \u2013 Reduces BOM count<\/li>\n<li>Low VSWR \u2013 Increases transmitted power<\/li>\n<li>Wide range of attenuation values \u2013 1-10, 15, 20 and 30dB<\/li>\n<li>Tight attenuation tolerance \u2013 For optimal performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u><strong><\/strong><\/u><strong><\/strong><strong>Click here to learn about Smith Interconnect&#8217;s Space-Qualified products on SatNow.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smiths Interconnect has extended its offering of high-frequency surface mount chip attenuators with the release of its new TSX Wire Bondable Fixed Chip Attenuator Series, a small, easy-to-implement, high-reliability product qualified for space and defense applications.
