PE7029-6

Overview

The PE7029-6 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal level reduction in coaxial systems. It provides an attenuation value of 6 dB across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 1 GHz. The component features a 75 Ohm impedance and utilizes N-Type connectors, specifically configured with an N Male plug on one end and an N Female jack on the other. Constructed with a brass body finished in nickel plating, it supports a maximum power handling capacity of 1 Watt. This inline module is engineered for reliable performance in standard radio frequency applications requiring precise signal attenuation within the specified electrical parameters.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 6 dB signal attenuation for consistent signal level management
• Features N-Type male-to-female connector configuration for direct inline integration
• Constructed with a durable brass body and nickel plating for corrosion resistance

Applications

• Signal conditioning in 75 Ohm coaxial transmission lines
• RF test and measurement setups requiring precise attenuation
• Video distribution systems operating within the 1 GHz frequency range

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required impedance matches the system's 75 Ohm specification to ensure proper signal integrity. Confirm that the operating frequency remains within the 0 Hz to 1 GHz range defined by the datasheet. Ensure the expected signal power does not exceed the 1 Watt maximum rating to prevent component damage. Check connector gender compatibility, as this unit connects an N Male source to an N Female destination.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is required in a 75 Ohm environment. Choose this part over variable attenuators if the signal level adjustment is static. Consider the N-Type interface for compatibility with existing coaxial infrastructure. Evaluate the 1 Watt power rating against peak signal levels to ensure safe operation without thermal degradation or failure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack line of RF attenuators, which are passive devices used to reduce signal amplitude. Unlike cable assemblies, these modules are solid-state or precision resistive components integrated into a metallic housing. They serve critical roles in maintaining signal-to-noise ratios and protecting sensitive downstream equipment from high-power signals in communication networks.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes must maintain the 6 dB attenuation value, 75 Ohm impedance, and 0-1 GHz frequency range. Verify that replacement units offer identical N-Type male-to-female connectivity. Ensure the alternative component meets or exceeds the 1 Watt power handling capability and utilizes compatible connector materials.
