Mini-Circuits has introduced a new series of 50 W coaxial precision fixed attenuators to their popular “BW” attenuator family. This series pushes the power handling capability of their existing product line to 50 Watts while maintaining excellent flatness of attenuation over the full frequency range from DC to 18 GHz – within ±0.5 dB over the full band. The BW-NW50+ series is designed with heat dissipation fins to handle these high power signals and dissipate the heat efficiently without the need for any external cooling equipment, reducing system costs and space constraints. High power handling, accuracy and flatness of attenuation, excellent return loss, and wide frequency range make the BW-NW50+ series a winning candidate for many high power applications including high level power metering, high power terminations, test setups, and improving matching of RF components. Available in 10, 20, 30, and 40 dB attenuation levels, BW-NW50+ series attenuators provide top level performance and built-in reliability with rugged, light-weight, compact construction (2.65” x 2.65” x 4.5”) and are available for immediate delivery off the shelf.
