PE1616

Overview

The Pasternack PE1616 is a Type N bias tee designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz. The component supports a maximum DC bias current of 2,500 mA and a voltage rating of 100 Volts DC. This device integrates RF and DC paths, allowing simultaneous transmission without interference. It is constructed for chassis mounting to ensure stable installation in test setups.

Feature Summary

• Integrates RF and DC signal paths into a single compact unit
• Supports high DC current capacity up to 2,500 mA
• Operates across a wide frequency spectrum from 10 MHz to 6 GHz
• Engineered for reliable chassis mounting in laboratory environments

Applications

• RF testing and measurement systems requiring combined DC power and RF signals
• Characterization of active components such as amplifiers and oscillators
• Laboratory benchtop setups for signal injection and conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, such as -DG, against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact specifications and compliance status. Ensure the required DC voltage and current ratings align with the 100 VDC and 2,500 mA limits defined in the datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Type N interface is required for frequencies up to 6 GHz. Consider the 2,500 mA current rating for powering high-drain devices. Verify that the chassis mount form factor fits the available space in the target equipment enclosure compared to other bias tee configurations.

Part Context

The PE1616 belongs to Pasternack’s line of general-purpose bias tees. These components are distinct from cable assemblies like the PE3W16161 series or adapters like the PE91616. The product serves as a passive signal combiner/splitter specifically engineered for integrating DC power onto RF lines within controlled impedance systems.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official datasheet for direct substitute part numbers. Cross-reference interface types and electrical ratings to ensure compatibility with existing system requirements.
