PE7008-2

Overview

The Pasternack PE7008-2 is a BNC female-to-female in-line step attenuator designed for RF applications up to 750 MHz. It provides an attenuation range from 0 dB to 45.5 dB with precise 0.5 dB step sizes. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and handles a maximum power rating of 1 Watt. This push-button controlled device allows for accurate signal level adjustment in test and measurement environments.

Feature Summary

• Push-button control mechanism for rapid attenuation selection
• BNC female connectors on both input and output ports
• In-line module form factor for easy circuit integration

Applications

• RF signal testing and measurement setups
• Telecommunications equipment calibration
• Laboratory instrumentation signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7008-2 to confirm current manufacturing status and environmental compliance details. Ensure compatibility with existing BNC interfaces and check that the 1 Watt power rating meets system requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when precise 0.5 dB resolution is required within the 0 to 45.5 dB range. It is suitable for systems operating below 750 MHz requiring 50 Ohm impedance matching. Consider higher step sizes or different connector types if specifications exceed these limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of BNC 50 Ohm step attenuators. These devices are engineered for precision signal attenuation in radio frequency circuits, offering reliable performance in standard laboratory and industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Check for other models in the PE7008 series, such as PE7008-1 or PE7008-6, which offer different attenuation ranges or step sizes while maintaining similar BNC connectivity and form factors.
