Description

A 2 Watt SMA male dummy load rated up to 18 GHz is a compact, precision RF termination used to safely absorb signals in high-frequency systems without causing reflections or interference. It’s ideal for applications like test benches, signal generators, and calibration setups where clean termination is essential. 🔧 Key Specifications (based on models like the Pasternack PE6TR1173 and BecenRF BC-SSMAF-18): - Power Rating: 2 watts average - Frequency Range: DC to 18 GHz - Impedance: 50 ohms - VSWR: - ≤ 1.20:1 @ 8 GHz - ≤ 1.25:1 @ 12.4 GHz - ≤ 1.30:1 @ 18 GHz - Connector: SMA male (threaded, compact, and widely used) - Construction: Passivated stainless steel or nickel-plated brass body, PTFE insulation, gold-plated center contact - Operating Temperature: -65°C to +165°C (Pasternack) or -55°C to +125°C (BecenRF) - Weight: ~5 grams 🛠️ Use Cases: - Terminating unused ports in high-frequency RF systems - Preventing signal reflections in test and measurement setups - Ensuring accurate calibration in microwave and millimeter-wave applications
