GENERAL INFORMATION
The PCA and PCAA Series consists of a laser trimmed distrib-
uted thin film element on an alumina ceramic substrate with
solderable terminals. Two sizes are available. The PCA size
operates to 12.4 GHz and the PCAA size operates to 18.0 GHz.
Both sizes are available with leads and wrap around conduc-
tors for ease of installation. The PCAF and PCAAF options are
designed for “flip-chip” application in lower frequency circuits.
PCA & PCAA SERIES DATA
Substrate: 96% Alumina
Solderable Terminals: Electroplated Silver over Nickel
Resistive Element: Proprietary Thin Film
Wrap around Ground Terminal available, “W” option
Wrap around-all terminals—“F” option
Standard values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 20 dB
Non-std. values available as special order
ORDERING INFORMATION
The attenuators listed are available in 1 dB increments from 1
through 20 dB. When ordering, to specify the correct part num-
ber for the desired attenuation value, select any of the series
listed and add the attenuation value desired to the basic series
designation.
Options (Note 4)
L = Lead/Tab (Gold Plated BeCu)
W = Wrap around ground only
F = Wrap around all terminals (flip-chip)
T = Tinned terminals (any terminal type) Sn63
H = Tinned terminals (any terminal type) Sn96
G = Gold plated terminals

NOTES
1. Performance of other dB values vary dependent on attenuation.
Contact factory for specifications for fractional dB values.
2. Performance is based on device mounted in matched 50 Ohm line.
3. Rated power 1.5 Watts input PCA, 100 mw PCAA.
4. Tinning with Sn96 “Lead Free” high temperature solder will maintain RoHS
compliance.
