PE7004-2

Overview

The Pasternack PE7004-2 is a fixed attenuator designed for RF applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 2 dB with N male to N female connectors. The device operates from DC to 18 GHz and handles up to 2 Watts of power. It features a passivated stainless steel body, ensuring durability in various environments.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 2 dB attenuation value
• N male to N female connector interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Impedance matching networks
• Test and measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for exact VSWR and attenuation accuracy tolerances. Confirm that the N-type connector gender and passivation requirements align with system integration needs before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 2 dB reduction is required within an 18 GHz bandwidth. Ensure the 2 Watt power rating suffices for the application's maximum signal levels. Verify compatibility with existing N-type connector infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's series of coaxial attenuators. It serves as a passive component for controlling signal amplitude in RF circuits, distinct from variable or step attenuator models offered by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical 2 dB attenuation and N-type interfaces. Ensure replacement parts maintain the 18 GHz frequency range and 2 Watt power handling capabilities to preserve circuit performance.
