PE6TR1164

Overview

The PE6TR1164 is a coaxial RF terminator manufactured by Pasternack, designed for high-frequency applications up to 26.5 GHz. It features an SMA male input connector and is rated for a power handling capacity of 5 Watts. The unit incorporates a black anodized aluminum heatsink to manage thermal dissipation effectively during operation. This component serves as a DC to 26.5 GHz load, providing a stable termination for radio frequency circuits.

Feature Summary

• Integrated black anodized aluminum heatsink for thermal management
• SMA male connector interface for standard RF integration
• Rated for 5 Watt power handling capacity
• Operational frequency range extending from DC to 26.5 GHz

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment terminations
• Signal generator output loading
• Vector network analyzer port termination
• Microwave circuit characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise VSWR and impedance tolerances before finalizing design integration. Confirm that the SMA male interface matches the system requirements. Ensure the 5W power rating aligns with the maximum expected signal levels in the application to prevent component damage. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, heatsink-equipped terminator is required for frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. The 5W rating distinguishes it from lower-power variants suitable for sensitive receiver inputs. The SMA male interface dictates compatibility with standard SMA female ports. Consider the physical size of the integrated heatsink for enclosure space constraints compared to smaller, unheatsunk terminators.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's Coaxial RF Terminations series, specifically engineered for broadband microwave applications. It complements other RF loads in the lineup by offering higher power handling through its dedicated aluminum heatsink design. The product falls under the broader category of RF interconnects and passive components used in signal integrity management.
