PE7005-9

Overview

The PE7005-9 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides 9 dB of attenuation with a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz. The device is rated for 2 Watts of power handling up to 18 GHz. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and a passivated stainless steel body.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation value of 9 dB
• Wideband operation from DC to 18 GHz
• Passivated stainless steel housing

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in high-frequency circuits
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Signal conditioning in communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for the PE7005-9 model to confirm connector type, power rating, and frequency limits. Ensure compatibility with system impedance and operating temperature ranges before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 9 dB reduction is required across a broad bandwidth up to 18 GHz. Consider the SMA interface and stainless steel construction for durability and standard connectivity.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's fixed attenuator series, designed for reliable performance in RF applications. It serves as a passive component for managing signal strength without introducing significant distortion within its specified operational limits.

Replacement Considerations

Check for exact matches in attenuation (9 dB), frequency range (DC-18 GHz), and power rating (2W). Verify connector compatibility (SMA Male-Female) and physical dimensions for direct substitution.
