PE7044-10

Overview

The PE7044-10 is a fixed attenuator from Pasternack, designed for RF applications. It features a 75 Ohm N Male to 75 Ohm N Female configuration with a passivated stainless steel body. The device provides a 10 dB attenuation value and operates up to 4 GHz. It is rated for 2 Watts of power handling capacity.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 10 dB signal attenuation
• Features a durable passivated stainless steel body
• Supports standard N-type connector interfaces

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test setups
• Impedance matching in 75 Ohm systems
• Signal conditioning in broadcast equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model suffix against official datasheets to confirm attenuation value and frequency range. Ensure compatibility with 75 Ohm system requirements. Check for passivated stainless steel construction details. Confirm power rating specifications before integration into high-power circuits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 10 dB loss is required in a 75 Ohm environment. Consider the 4 GHz operating limit and 2 Watt power rating. Evaluate the need for N-type connectors and stainless steel durability. Compare against other attenuators if different impedance or loss values are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of coaxial RF attenuators. It complements other models like PE7044-6 and PE7044-1 by offering a specific 10 dB attenuation step. The series supports various attenuation values within the same form factor and connector type.
