GENERAL INFORMATION
The PSA Series attenuators are “pill” devices designed for
installation in stripline circuits. The element is a thin film laser
trimmed chip, en-capsulated in an epoxy. The resilient spring
configuration provides positive ground plane contact, regard-
less of variations in ground plane spacing tolerances. The PSA
Series attenuators are ideal for high-rel applications.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The attenuators are available in 1 dB increments from 1 through
20 dB. Specif y desired attenuation value by adding the
attenuation value to the basic series designation. (See note 4)
