THICK FILM CHIP ATTENUATORS
DESCRIPTION
Wire and ribbon bondable and Flipchip thick film chip attenuators, printed and fired on 96% alumina.
Provides attenuation accuracy for frequencies through 10Ghz. Double layer terminations provide additional
bonding surface. Abrasive trimming ensures optimum resistor stability. Diamond sawed for dimensional
uniformity and accuracy. Advanced processing techniques, and Hi-Rel construction assure optimum
performance.
