High Reliability Thermopads®

EMC’s Thermopad®, temperature variable attenuator, is S-Level qualified for high reliability applications. In space and satellite, military, and aerospace applications the Thermopad reduces system complexity and cost while improving overall reliability because it is a single passive chip device. The HR series of the TVA is a DC to 6 GHz rated part and maybe purchased with group A, B, or C testing based on Mil-PRF-55342.
