PE7024-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7024-30 is a fixed 30 dB attenuator featuring 2.92mm male to 2.92mm female connectors. It utilizes a resistive PI pad design within a passivated stainless steel body. The component operates from DC to 26.5 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. It supports up to 2 Watts of power at the rated attenuation value.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 30 dB attenuation using a resistive PI pad design
• Compatible 2.92mm male and female connector interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction for durability

Applications

• Microwave signal testing and measurement
• RF circuit protection and level adjustment
• High-frequency system calibration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency range requirement against the 26.5 GHz maximum limit. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating aligns with the application's thermal constraints. Ensure the 2.92mm connector compatibility matches the existing test setup or cable assembly interfaces before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when precise 30 dB attenuation is required in high-frequency environments up to 26.5 GHz. The 2.92mm interface ensures low VSWR performance compared to larger connectors. Consider the stainless steel body for robustness in demanding RF applications where standard brass bodies may be insufficient.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed coaxial attenuators. It provides a stable, non-adjustable attenuation value for microwave systems. The 2.92mm connector type allows for operation well into the millimeter-wave spectrum while maintaining standard 50 Ohm impedance matching.
