International Manufacturing Services Inc. introduces the VGX-2010WA for high power RF and microwave applications. The high power, 2010-size chip attenuator features wraparound terminals for solder or epoxy attachment. It is reported to dissipate 20 W at a 100° C baseplate temperature and has a standard impedance of 50 ohm. Attenuation values to 30 dB are available, including 0.5 dB increments. Attenuation accuracy starts at ±0.2 dB. Depending on implementation, achievable VSWR is 1.3:1 to 12 GHz.
