Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and pin configuration against your equipment interface requirements before purchase. Confirm that the 10-watt continuous power rating aligns with your system's peak and average power levels. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental specifications. Check for any specific datasheet revisions or compliance certifications required for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a broadband termination is required up to 26.5 GHz with significant power handling. The SMA interface suits standard laboratory and field equipment. Consider thermal management if ambient temperatures approach the upper limit. Compare against lower-power models if wattage requirements are reduced to optimize cost.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's series of coaxial RF terminators. These devices are engineered to absorb RF energy without reflection, providing a matched load for testing and system stability. The PE6TR1165 represents a high-performance variant within this family, distinguished by its elevated power rating and wide bandwidth capabilities compared to standard low-power loads.

Replacement Considerations
