Description:
These precision chip attenuators offer a very wide functional frequency range and are ideal for circuits that handle different
frequencies. Compared to attenuation circuits consisting of a combination of discrete resistors, the greatly reduced parasitic
capacitance and inductance of these attenuators allow for the true value to be obtained. One center signal terminal and two ground
side terminals offer easy integration within connectors. The standard offering is for these products to be placed into the carrier tape
with the pattern side facing up as reflected in the taping orientation diagram. Parts are also available taped with pattern side facing
down as reflected in the Part Numbering section.
