PE6218

Overview

The Pasternack PE6218 is a medium power RF load rated for 50 Watts with a frequency range up to 8 GHz. It features a 7/16 DIN female connector and utilizes a square body constructed from black anodized aluminum. The internal structure consists of a brass body without chains, ensuring durability. The component maintains an average maximum voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.6:1, providing reliable termination performance in high-frequency applications.

Feature Summary

• Square body design made of black anodized aluminum
• 7/16 DIN female connector interface
• Brass body construction without chains
• Rated for 50 Watts at frequencies up to 8 GHz

Applications

• RF system termination
• Signal source isolation
• Transmitter testing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and body style against project requirements. Confirm that the 50-watt power rating and 8 GHz frequency limit align with operational parameters. Ensure compatibility with existing 7/16 DIN interfaces. Check for any environmental constraints regarding the anodized aluminum finish.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, medium-power termination is required for frequencies up to 8 GHz. The 7/16 DIN interface suits high-power systems where standard connectors may be insufficient. Consider the square body form factor for mounting stability. Verify that the 1.6:1 VSWR meets system reflection limits.
