RF Attenuator 6806.17.A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Huber+Suhner 6806.17.A is an RF attenuator module designed for inline applications requiring fixed 6dB attenuation across a broad frequency spectrum. This component operates from DC to 12.4 GHz with 50-ohm impedance and 2-watt power handling capability in an N-type connector configuration. The part maintains Active product status and is REACH Unaffected. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate multiple qualified suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6806.17.A is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Attenuation Value: 6dB
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Package / Case: N-Type In-Line Module
• Power Rating: 2W

Acceptable Parameter Variance:

• Frequency Range: The substitute part ATT-0219-06-NNN-02 operates from 0 Hz ~ 18 GHz, which encompasses the primary part's 0 Hz ~ 12.4 GHz specification. The extended upper frequency limit does not restrict operation within the original specification band.

The substitute part ATT-0219-06-NNN-02 manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions Midwest Microwave satisfies all mandatory matching criteria and maintains compatibility within the specified operating parameters of the 6806.17.A.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the primary part 6806.17.A and the substitute ATT-0219-06-NNN-02 maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support. The substitute part carries RoHS3 compliance certification and is classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating robust handling characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and supplier qualification status within your procurement framework. The extended frequency range of the substitute part (18 GHz versus 12.4 GHz) provides additional operational margin without affecting performance within the original specification band.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ATT-0219-06-NNN-02 be used as a direct replacement for 6806.17.A?

A: Yes. Both parts match on all critical parameters: 6dB attenuation, 50-ohm impedance, 2-watt power rating, and N-type in-line module packaging. The substitute part's extended frequency range (18 GHz) is compatible with applications requiring operation up to 12.4 GHz.

Q: What is the significance of the frequency range difference?

A: The primary part operates to 12.4 GHz. The substitute part operates to 18 GHz. This extended range does not create incompatibility; it indicates the substitute part maintains specified performance across a broader frequency spectrum. Applications limited to 12.4 GHz operation experience no performance degradation.

Q: Are there connector compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use N-type in-line module connectors. Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is assured.

Q: What compliance differences exist between these parts?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS3 compliance certification and specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both parts are REACH Unaffected. Compliance requirements for your application determine whether these certifications are relevant to your selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design operates within the 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz frequency band and does not exceed 2-watt power dissipation. The identical attenuation, impedance, and connector specifications ensure functional equivalence.
