32AS102-K30S3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 32AS102-K30S3 is an RF attenuator manufactured by Rosenberger, designed for signal attenuation in RF and microwave applications. This SMA in-line module provides 30dB attenuation across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz with 2W power handling capability and 50 Ohm impedance. The product is active and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 32AS102-K30S3 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Attenuation Value: Must equal 30dB
• Power Handling: Must equal or exceed 2W
• Impedance: Must equal 50 Ohms
• Package / Case: Must be SMA In-Line Module
• Product Status: Must be Active

The LCAT1001-30 meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements. The frequency range difference (0 Hz ~ 3 GHz versus 0 Hz ~ 18 GHz) represents a functional limitation that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full RoHS compliance. The LCAT1001-30 provides equivalent attenuation, power handling, impedance, and mechanical form factor. Selection between these parts depends on application frequency requirements. The 32AS102-K30S3 supports operation to 18 GHz, while the LCAT1001-30 is specified to 3 GHz. For applications operating within the 0 Hz to 3 GHz range, both parts deliver identical electrical performance. For applications requiring operation above 3 GHz, the 32AS102-K30S3 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes LCAT1001-30 a valid substitute for 32AS102-K30S3?

A: Both parts provide identical attenuation (30dB), power handling (2W), impedance (50 Ohms), and mechanical packaging (SMA In-Line Module). Both are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The frequency range differs. The 32AS102-K30S3 operates from 0 Hz to 18 GHz, while the LCAT1001-30 operates from 0 Hz to 3 GHz. This difference must be evaluated against your specific application requirements.

Q: Can LCAT1001-30 be used in place of 32AS102-K30S3 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only for applications operating within the 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range. Applications requiring operation above 3 GHz require the 32AS102-K30S3.

Q: Are there any compliance or packaging differences?

A: Both parts meet RoHS requirements and share identical MSL ratings. The LCAT1001-30 is packaged in bags while the 32AS102-K30S3 packaging is not specified. Both use SMA In-Line Module form factor.
