Product Details | VARIABLE ATTENUATOR

5985-00-256-6391 A device for reducing the strength of an alternating current signal either continuously or in steps, without causing appreciable signal distortion, by maintaining substantially constant output and/or input impedance match. Continuously variable resistive devices must consist of at least two sections or one section with at least two rotating contacts. The item must have an overall attenuation rating. Includes tandem mounted variable resistors designed to function as an attenuator but whose terminals are not connected. See also RESISTOR, VAIABLE (as modified).

Acquisition Advice CodesXSEMIACTIVE ITEM-NO REPLACEMENT (NON-STOCKED ITEMS) A potentially inactive NSN which must be retained in the supply system as an item of supply because (1) stocks of the item are on hand or in use below the wholesale level and (2) the NSN is cited in equipment authorization documents TO & E, TA, TM, etc., or in-use assets are being reported. 1. Items are authorized for central procurement but not authorized for stockage at wholesale level. 2. Requisitions for in-use replacement will be authorized in accordance with individual Military Service directives. 3. Requisitions may be submitted as requirements generate. Repetitive demands may dictate an AAC change to permit wholesale stockage.
