PE7003-6

Overview

The PE7003-6 is a TNC in-line attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides a fixed attenuation of 20 dB with a frequency range from DC to 2 GHz. The component features a male-to-female connector configuration and operates at a power rating of 2 Watts. It maintains a system impedance of 50 Ohms and exhibits a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.4:1. The unit utilizes brass construction with nickel plating.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed signal reduction via integrated resistive elements within a coaxial module
• Ensures signal integrity through controlled impedance matching between connected systems
• Facilitates direct series integration into RF transmission lines using standard threaded interfaces

Applications

• RF test and measurement setups requiring precise signal level adjustment
• Protection of sensitive receiver inputs from high-power source signals
• Impedance matching and isolation in microwave circuit design

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7003-6 to confirm current manufacturing specifications, as product attributes may evolve. Ensure compatibility with existing TNC connectors in the assembly. Confirm that the 2 Watt power handling capacity aligns with the operational requirements of the target RF environment to prevent component damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 20 dB attenuation is required within the DC to 2 GHz bandwidth. The TNC interface suits applications needing robust mechanical connections. Consider the 2 Watt power limit and 50 Ohm impedance when designing circuits. This component serves as a passive linear device for signal conditioning without active power sources.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack attenuators category, specifically designed for radio frequency interconnect solutions. It functions as a passive component to manage signal amplitude in electronic systems. The TNC variant offers secure coupling for frequencies up to 2 GHz, distinguishing it from higher-frequency SMA or N-type alternatives.
