PE7008-3

Overview

The PE7008-3 is a 0 to 65 dB push-button step attenuator manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises. It features BNC female connectors on both ends and operates at a system impedance of 75 Ohms. The device provides attenuation in 1 dB steps, rated for up to 1 Watt of power up to 500 MHz. Constructed with a brass nickel body, it ensures reliable signal control in RF applications.

Feature Summary

• Push-button operation for precise attenuation adjustment
• Bidirectional signal flow capability
• Robust brass nickel construction for durability

Applications

• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal level control in communication systems
• Laboratory equipment calibration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector type (BNC Female) and impedance (75 Ohm) against your system requirements. Confirm the frequency range (up to 500 MHz) and power rating (1 Watt) are suitable for your application. Ensure the push-button mechanism aligns with your operational needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model if a 75 Ohm system impedance is required. Compare with other Pasternack attenuators for different impedance values or connector types. Consider the maximum attenuation range (65 dB) and step size (1 dB) for your specific signal control precision needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PE7008 series of push-button step attenuators from Pasternack. It is designed for applications requiring variable attenuation in RF circuits. The series offers various models with different attenuation ranges and connector configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible substitutes within the PE7008 series or other Pasternack attenuator lines. Ensure replacement parts match the 75 Ohm impedance and BNC connector interface. Verify that the new part meets the same power and frequency specifications.
