PE-W28AT5001

Overview

The PE-W28AT5001 is a WR-28 waveguide direct read attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides an attenuation range of 0 to 50 dB within the frequency band of 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz. The device features a UG-599/U square cover flange interface and includes a dial mechanism for adjustment. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 500 mW, designed for precise signal level control in high-frequency applications.

Feature Summary

• Direct read attenuation capability via integrated dial mechanism
• WR-28 waveguide interface with UG-599/U square cover flange
• Operates within the 26.5 GHz to 40 GHz frequency spectrum

Applications

• High-frequency RF signal attenuation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model designation against official manufacturer documentation to ensure compatibility with WR-28 waveguide systems. Confirm that the required attenuation range and power rating align with application specifications before procurement. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or availability limitations directly from authorized channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-waveguide attenuator with adjustable output is required for millimeter-wave frequencies. Ensure the system utilizes WR-28 dimensions and UG-599/U flanges. Consider the 500 mW power limit when designing for high-power environments. Validate frequency coverage needs against the 26.5–40 GHz operational range.

Part Context

This attenuator belongs to Pasternack's waveguide component portfolio, specifically designed for millimeter-wave applications. It complements other RF test and measurement hardware by providing precise signal reduction capabilities in waveguide formats, supporting systems operating in the E-band frequency range.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided data. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing WR-28 waveguide infrastructure and ensure equivalent frequency and power specifications if sourcing alternatives.
