Patent attributes
An attenuator pad adapter for utilizing a replacement attenuator pad in place of another attenuator pad intended for use on a printed circuit board. The attenuator pad adapter has a body portion with a plurality of pins extending from one of its ends that correspond with pins of the originally intended attenuator pad. A slot in an opposite end is configured to detachably receive an end of the replacement attenuator pad. Openings in the slot receive pins on an end of the replacement attenuator pad. The pins of the replacement attenuator pad electrically interconnect connect with the pins extending from the body portion of the attenuator pad adapter. The pins of the replacement attenuator pad are arranged differently than the pins extending from either the body portion or the originally intended attenuator pad.
