Safety Earth

Ground This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing

terminal). An uninterruptible safety earth ground must be provided from the

main power source to the product input wiring terminals, power cord, or

supplied power cord set. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been

impaired, the product must be made inoperative and secured against any

unintended operation.

Before Applying Power Verify that the product is conﬁgured to match the available main power

source as described in the input power conﬁguration instructions in this

manual. If this product is to be powered by autotransformer, make sure the

common terminal is connected to the neutral (grounded) side of the ac power

supply.

This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.

Cet appareil ISM est conforme a la norme NMB du Canada.

This symbol indicates that the power line switch is ON.

This symbol indicates that the power line switch is OFF or in STANDBY position.

Instrument Deﬁnition

This manual contains installation, operation, and test information for the

8495D and 8495K.

Instruments Covered by

Manual The instruments covered by this manual have a two-part serial number. The

ﬁrst four digits and letter comprise the serial number preﬁx. The last ﬁve

digits form the sequential sufﬁx that is unique to each instrument. The

contents of this manual apply to instruments with the following serial

preﬁxes:

An attenuator manufactured after the printing of this manual may have a

serial preﬁx that is not listed above. This unlisted serial preﬁx indicates that

the attenuator is different from those documented in this manual.

28495D/K Attenuators Operating And Service Manual

Description

The Agilent 8495D and 8495K are 50-ohm, dc to 26.5 GHz, 0-70 dB (in

10 dB steps), coaxial attenuators with APC 3.5 connectors. Each attenuator

is made up of four attenuation sections connected in cascade. Each section

consists of a precision thin-ﬁlm attenuator card, a lossless thru-line, and a

ganged pair of edge line transmission lines. The edge lines are ﬂexed to

make contact with either the attenuator card or the thru-line. The edge line

contacts are gold-plated leaf springs which ensure long life and high

repeatability. In the 8495D, the edge line controls are ﬂexed by low-torque

cams. In the 8495K, the edge line controls are ﬂexed by solenoid plungers

(see Figure 1).

Table 1 on page 3 shows the switching arrangement required to increase the

amount of attenuation from 0 to 70 dB in 10 dB steps. In the 8495K, to

ensure speciﬁed performance, it is recommended that the attenuator sections

shown in the table below be used. Also, when changing attenuation, it is

good practice to insert the required sections before deletion of the unneeded

sections. With the attenuator set for 0 dB attenuation, only the insertion loss

(residual attenuation) remains.
