PE1657

Overview

The Pasternack PE1657 is an N-type high-current bias tee designed for signal conditioning applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz and supports a maximum DC current rating of 7 Amps with a voltage rating of 100 Volts on the DC pin. The component features a chassis mount configuration and functions as a three-port network to inject DC bias into RF circuits without affecting the RF signal path.

Feature Summary

• Provides isolation between DC bias input and RF signal paths
• Supports high current capacity up to 7 Amps
• Operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 105°C

Applications

• Adjusting DC bias points in electrical components
• RF circuit signal conditioning
• Broadband bias injection for RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and mechanical dimensions prior to integration, as manufacturing specifications may be subject to change. Confirm that the N-type connector interface and chassis mounting requirements align with the target system design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high DC current handling is required alongside RF signal integrity in the 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz band. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range and that chassis mounting space is available for the physical form factor.

Part Context

This bias tee belongs to Pasternack's general-purpose RF signal conditioning series. It serves as a passive three-port network device intended to facilitate the simultaneous transmission of DC power and RF signals through separate ports while maintaining impedance matching and signal isolation.

Replacement Considerations
