PE7044-6

Overview

The PE7044-6 is a fixed attenuator from Pasternack with a nominal attenuation of 6 dB. It operates at an impedance of 75 Ohms and features N Male to N Female connectors. The device is rated for up to 2 Watts of power handling and functions within a frequency range of DC to 4 GHz. The body material is passivated stainless steel.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation value of 6 dB
• 75 Ohm impedance design
• N Male to N Female connector configuration
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in 75 Ohm systems
• Test and measurement setups requiring precise attenuation
• Broadcasting equipment signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7044-6 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with 75 Ohm system requirements before integration. Check manufacturer documentation for detailed RF performance curves and thermal limits under continuous wave operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB loss is required in a 75 Ohm environment. The N-type interface suits standard coaxial connections. Consider the 2 Watt power rating for high-power applications. Stainless steel housing provides durability compared to brass alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed attenuators designed for RF applications. It complements other models like PE7044-1 and PE7044-20 by offering a specific 6 dB attenuation step. The series supports various impedances and connector types for flexible system integration.

Replacement Considerations

PE7044-6LF is a lead-free variant of the same specification. Other 6 dB 75 Ohm N-type attenuators from different manufacturers may serve as substitutes if electrical parameters match.
