PE1662

Overview

The Pasternack PE1662 is a general-purpose RF bias tee designed for ultra-wideband applications. It features a 1.0 mm male input connector and a 1.0 mm female output connector, with an SMC male port for DC bias injection. The device supports a frequency range from 50 kHz to 110 GHz. It is rated to handle up to 400 mA of current at 16 Volts DC. This component facilitates the simultaneous transmission of RF signals and DC power over a single line.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-wideband operation spanning from low frequencies up to 110 GHz
• Integrated DC bias port via SMC male connector
• Compact 1.0 mm coaxial interface design

Applications

• RF test and measurement setups requiring combined signal and power delivery
• Characterization of high-frequency components and devices
• Integration into automated test equipment (ATE) systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and pin configuration against your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the DC voltage and current ratings align with your power supply capabilities. Ensure compatibility with 1.0 mm mating connectors in your setup. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an ultra-wide bandwidth extending to millimeter-wave frequencies is necessary. The 1.0 mm interface is suitable for high-density or high-frequency applications where smaller form factors are preferred. Consider the DC rating limits if powering active devices directly through the bias tee.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's portfolio of RF misc ICs and modules, specifically within their bias tee category. Bias tees are essential passive components used to combine or separate RF and DC signals on a single transmission line, enabling efficient testing and operation of active RF circuits without additional cabling.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers were not identified in available documentation. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications carefully when considering alternative manufacturers.
