PE1615

Overview

The Pasternack PE1615 is an SMA bias tee designed for RF applications operating from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. It features a rated maximum current of 2,500 mA and a voltage rating of 100 VDC. The component provides DC injection capabilities while maintaining signal integrity within the specified frequency range. It utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing with standard coaxial systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous RF signal transmission and DC power injection through a single path
• Operates effectively across a wide frequency spectrum from 10 MHz to 6 GHz
• Supports high DC current loads up to 2,500 mA and voltages up to 100 VDC

Applications

• Biasing active RF components such as amplifiers and oscillators
• Integrating DC control signals into RF test and measurement setups
• Powering remote antenna systems via coaxial cables

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific batch meets the required DC current and voltage ratings for your application. Confirm connector gender and pin configuration match your existing SMA infrastructure. Ensure environmental conditions remain within the operational limits defined in the official datasheet to maintain performance stability.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when both RF signal continuity and DC power delivery are required on a single line. Consider the 6 GHz upper frequency limit for high-speed applications. Evaluate the 2,500 mA current capacity against the load requirements to prevent thermal issues or performance degradation during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the category of RF adapters and bias tees manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises. It serves as a critical interface element in systems requiring combined AC/DC signal handling. The design focuses on minimizing insertion loss while providing robust electrical isolation between the RF and DC ports.

Replacement Considerations

The PE1607 is a documented substitute option offering similar functionality with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 4 GHz. Verify that the lower frequency limit of the alternative meets your system requirements before substitution.
