The Frequency response data plotted below shows an example of VSWR
obtained in pressure contact fixtures. Data for chips which are solder attached
to matched circuit traces may exhibit even better performance.

PART NUMBERING
S 1512 C W 10B0 B (******) W
PACKAGING CODE: - TR = Tape/Reel - W = Waffle Carrier (Default packaging is Bulk)
SCD REFERENCE
TERMINATION FINISH: B: Sn60 over nickel barrier, Y: Silver over nickel barrier
VALUE CODE:
Three or Four digits are used to express the attenuation value (available from 1 to 20 dB in 1dB increments). The letter “B” is used to
represent the decimal. Example: 10B0 = 10 dB, 1B5= 1.5 dB, etc.
PRODUCT DESIGNATION: W: Thick film attenuator on alumina
TERMINATION TYPE: C: Wraparound termination
SIZE CODE
GRADE: S: Standard Production H: High Reliability (For screening options, contact the factory)
