PE7021-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7021-30 is a fixed 30 dB attenuator featuring N male to N female connectors. It operates up to 1.5 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance and 1.25:1 VSWR. Rated for 100 Watts, it utilizes a directional black anodized aluminum heatsink body.

Feature Summary

• Directional design with integrated aluminum heatsink
• Fixed 30 dB attenuation value
• N-type connector interface

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in high-power systems
• Test and measurement setups requiring precise attenuation
• Microwave circuit protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for thermal management requirements. Confirm connector gender and mating compatibility with existing test fixtures. Ensure operational power levels remain within the 100 Watt rating to prevent component damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-power handling at 30 dB attenuation. The directional heatsink design supports sustained operation at 100 Watts. Verify frequency requirements do not exceed 1.5 GHz for optimal performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's fixed attenuator series. It provides standardized impedance matching and signal control. The unit integrates thermal dissipation capabilities suitable for demanding RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check PE7002-30 for lower power (1W) alternatives. Verify connector types match system requirements.
