MIL-DTL-3933/25 Attenuators
SV Microwave offers military SMA attenuators in accordance with MIL-DTL-3933/25. QPL - 3933 parts are designed and
made under DSCC qualifications in order to withstand harsh environments within military applications. Hi-Rel versions
also available.
These fixed SMA coaxial attenuators operate under low power and frequency range of DC - 2 GHz up to
DC - 18 GHz. These attenuators are small in size and are used in applications where space is at a premium.

SV Microwave Screening Capabilities IAW MIL-DTL-3933
SV Microwave possesses the capability not only to manufacture military connectors that meet the DSCC
specifications, but also to test and certify them. With extensive in-house testing capabilities, we ensure that
when our products are placed in military environments, they will be able to support crucial airborne and
terrestrial applications. In-house testing capabilities include MIL-DTL-3933 screening and material
inspection.
SV Microwave offers innovative solutions to satisfy your requirements. We have invested in a talented
engineering staff, supported by state-of-the-art, high-frequency RF simulation design software. Our full
service laboratories perform comprehensive environmental mechanical and electrical testing. We control
virtually all processes with in-house machining, fabrication, assembly and acceptance and qualification testing.
Using our in-house testing capabilities eliminates the need for outsourcing environmental test requirements,
which results in a lower delivered cost and shorter lead-time.
