Attenuator A-0402WA is available taped face-down in pocket (IMS2652), which enables usable frequency range to be broadened and flattened. Face-down orientation places attenuator elements in same plane as surrounding circuitry, minimizing stray capacitance and inductance effects of wraparounds. Placement also aids in minimizing insertion loss and VSWR effects.
