PE7009-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7009-10 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for in-line module applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a power rating of 1 Watt. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 1 GHz and maintains a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms. It features BNC connectors on both input and output sides, utilizing a brass body with nickel plating for durability and signal integrity.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value for consistent signal reduction
• BNC male-to-female connector configuration for standard interfacing
• Brass body construction with nickel passivation for corrosion resistance

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and connector tolerances. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature range. Confirm that the 1 Watt power rating aligns with your system's peak power requirements to prevent component damage during high-power transmission scenarios.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 10 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 1 GHz. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF systems. Consider the BNC interface compatibility with existing test gear. This unit is suitable for low-power applications where fixed attenuation is preferred over variable solutions.
