PE1610

Overview

The Pasternack PE1610 is a general-purpose RF bias tee designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 50 kHz to 50 GHz and features a 2.4mm female connector interface with a 50-ohm impedance. The device is rated to handle up to 150 mA DC current and 25 Volts DC voltage. It utilizes a chassis mount configuration, ensuring secure installation in test and measurement setups requiring reliable RF and DC signal separation.

Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous RF and DC signal transmission through a single port
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 50 kHz to 50 GHz
• Features a robust 2.4mm female connector interface for high-frequency stability
• Supports chassis mounting for secure integration into equipment racks

Applications

• Biasing RF amplifiers and active components
• Testing and measurement instrumentation setups
• Signal conditioning in communication systems
• Characterization of high-frequency electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and impedance match your system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the DC voltage and current ratings align with your device's power needs. Ensure the chassis mount style fits your enclosure design. Check for any updated datasheets or revision notes from Pasternack to ensure compatibility with latest standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 50 GHz is required. The 2.4mm interface offers superior performance at higher frequencies compared to SMA alternatives. Consider the 150 mA current rating for powering low-to-medium power RF devices. Verify that the 25V DC limit is sufficient for your biasing application.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's Coaxial Bias Tees series, which provides signal conditioning solutions for RF applications. These components are essential for separating or combining RF and DC signals in test environments. The PE1610 specifically targets high-frequency use cases requiring precise signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

No direct substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed in the provided documentation. When selecting an alternative, ensure the replacement matches the 2.4mm connector type, 50-ohm impedance, and frequency range. Verify that the current and voltage ratings meet or exceed the original specifications.
