Typical Performance
NOTES:
1. Tolerance on 3 place decimal ±s .010(.25) except as noted.
2. Dimensions in inches over millimeters.
3. Dimensions marked with * apply only at body.
4. All unmarked terminals are ground.
General Notes:
1. The AEF-35A-500 is a constant impedance, voltage
controlled, PIN diode π, network variable attenuator covering
10 to 1,000 MHz.
2. Careful design of thick film resistive pads and detailed
selection of suitable PIN diodes provide a wide operating
bandwidth and attenuation range. Units with closely controlled
phase shift are available as AFF-20A series.
3. Screened versions with extended reliability components are
available on request for Hi-Reliability and similar applications.
