PE6208

Overview

The Pasternack PE6208 is a 25-watt RF load termination designed for frequencies up to 18 GHz. It features a TNC female input connector and utilizes a round body constructed from black anodized aluminum. This component serves as a general-purpose RF termination, providing a stable resistive load for testing and measurement applications within the specified frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Provides a 25-watt power handling capacity for RF signal termination
• Operates effectively across a frequency range extending up to 18 GHz
• Features a TNC female connector interface for secure attachment
• Constructed with a durable round body made of black anodized aluminum

Applications

• General-purpose RF circuit termination
• Signal source stabilization in test setups
• VSWR measurement equipment loading
• Transmitter output dummy loads

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and power rating against system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the operating frequency does not exceed the 18 GHz limit. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing TNC interfaces. Check for any environmental constraints regarding the anodized aluminum finish. Validate that the 25-watt thermal dissipation capability meets the application's peak power demands.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, high-power termination is required for frequencies up to 18 GHz. The TNC female interface suits systems utilizing standard TNC connectors. Consider the physical dimensions of the round aluminum body for space-constrained enclosures. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 25-watt rating. Compare against lower-power alternatives if average power usage remains significantly below the maximum limit.

Part Context

This component belongs to the category of RF terminations manufactured by Pasternack. It is distinct from cable assemblies or adapters, serving specifically as a fixed resistive load. The product line focuses on providing reliable impedance matching and signal absorption for radio frequency systems.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing TNC female interfaces if considering alternative manufacturers.
