PE1629

Overview

The Pasternack PE1629 is a broadband bias tee designed for RF signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 12 GHz. The device features an SMA male input connector and a DC BNC connector for power injection. It is rated to handle up to 2.5 Amps of current and supports voltages up to 100 Volts. This three-port network allows for the adjustment of DC bias points on electrical components without interfering with RF signals.

Feature Summary

• Provides broadband performance across a wide frequency spectrum from 10 MHz to 12 GHz
• Integrates SMA male RF input with a dedicated DC BNC connector for power supply
• Capable of handling high current loads up to 2.5 Amps and voltage ratings of 100 Volts

Applications

• Adjusting DC bias points of active RF components
• Signal conditioning in test and measurement setups
• Power injection into RF circuits without affecting signal integrity

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required current and voltage ratings align with your circuit design, specifically ensuring the 2.5 Amp and 100 Volt limits are not exceeded. Confirm connector compatibility, noting the SMA male RF input and BNC DC interface. Check datasheet specifications for thermal management requirements under full load conditions to ensure reliable operation in your specific environment.

Selection Notes

Choose the PE1629 when a wide bandwidth up to 12 GHz is required alongside significant DC power handling capabilities. It is suitable for applications needing separate DC and RF paths with standard SMA and BNC interfaces. Consider this model if high current capacity is necessary for powering multiple or high-drain active devices within the specified frequency range.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's signal conditioning series, specifically designed as a bias tee. It serves as a passive interconnect device that combines DC power and RF signals. The unit is engineered for general-purpose use in RF systems where independent control of bias voltage and current is needed without disrupting the transmission line.
