RF Attenuator 10dB 50 Ohm SMA In-Line Module (320160016)

Part Overview

The Seeed Technology Co., Ltd model 320160016 is an RF attenuator module designed for RF signal conditioning applications. This component provides 10dB attenuation across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz with 50 Ohm impedance and 1W power handling capability. The module features SMA connectors in an in-line configuration for direct integration into RF transmission paths.

This part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitute components necessary for ongoing system designs and maintenance applications. Identifying compatible alternatives requires matching critical electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure functional equivalence in RF circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of RF attenuator modules is determined by strict equivalence of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Attenuation Value: 10dB (exact match required)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 1W (minimum requirement)
• Package / Case: SMA In-Line Module (mechanical compatibility)
• Connector Type: SMA (interface compatibility)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Frequency Range: Substitute frequency range must encompass or exceed the original specification (0 Hz ~ 6 GHz minimum)
• RoHS Compliance: Substitute must meet equivalent environmental standards

The Radiall USA, Inc. model R413V10000 meets all critical matching parameters and exceeds the frequency range specification, making it a parametric equivalent for applications requiring the 320160016 functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Radiall R413V10000 is an active product with current manufacturing status, providing supply continuity for applications previously using the discontinued Seeed 320160016. Both components share identical attenuation, power handling, impedance, and mechanical interface specifications.

The R413V10000 provides extended frequency range capability (0 Hz ~ 67 GHz versus 0 Hz ~ 6 GHz), which does not compromise compatibility with systems designed for the original 6 GHz specification. The substitute component maintains RoHS compliance through ROHS3 certification, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Selection of the R413V10000 as a substitute is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs without circuit modification, provided the application operates within the original 6 GHz frequency specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Radiall R413V10000 directly replace the Seeed 320160016 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components provide identical 10dB attenuation, 1W power handling, 50 Ohm impedance, and SMA in-line mechanical configuration. No circuit modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: Why does the R413V10000 have a higher frequency range specification?

A: The R413V10000 is rated to 67 GHz, while the original 320160016 is rated to 6 GHz. Extended frequency range does not affect performance at lower frequencies and does not create incompatibility with systems designed for 6 GHz operation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: Both components use SMA In-Line Module packaging. The R413V10000 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the original 320160016 used standard packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The Radiall R413V10000 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected. These certifications meet or exceed the RoHS Compliant status of the original component.

Q: Is the R413V10000 currently available?

A: Yes. The R413V10000 is an active product with current manufacturing status and documented inventory availability, providing supply continuity for the discontinued 320160016.
