PE7019-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7019-10 is a fixed RF attenuator providing 10 dB attenuation. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. The component features Type N male connectors on both input and output sides. It is constructed with a directional aluminum heatsink body finished in black anodized material. The unit is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 50 Watts at the specified attenuation value.

Feature Summary

• Directional design utilizing an aluminum heatsink body
• Black anodized finish for corrosion resistance
• Type N male connector interface on both ports

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in microwave systems
• Impedance matching between circuit stages
• Signal conditioning in test and measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify current manufacturing status as this part number may be obsolete. Confirm availability of parametric equivalents from other manufacturers if direct supply is unavailable. Ensure replacement components match the original electrical specifications, including attenuation value, frequency range, and power rating. Check connector gender and type compatibility before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB attenuation is required up to 18 GHz. Ensure the application environment supports the 50 Watt power rating. Verify that Type N connectors are compatible with the system cabling. Consider thermal management requirements due to the heatsink design. Compare against available substitutes if the primary part is discontinued.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Pasternack PE7019 series of fixed attenuators. The series includes variants with different attenuation values such as 6 dB, 20 dB, and 40 dB. All units in this line share similar physical construction and connector types but differ in their specific attenuation characteristics and power handling capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Amphenol XMA part number 3082-7550-18-10 is listed as a parametric equivalent substitute.
