PE7045-1

Overview

The Pasternack PE7045-1 is a fixed 1 dB attenuator featuring SMA male to SMA female connectors. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 12.4 GHz and is rated for 2 Watts power handling. The device utilizes an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design housed in a passivated stainless steel body. This component provides precise signal attenuation for RF applications requiring stable performance up to the specified maximum frequency.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 1 dB attenuation value
• SMA male to SMA female interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Test and measurement setups
• Microwave circuit integration

Procurement Notes

Verify connector gender compatibility and frequency requirements against system specifications. Confirm power rating adequacy for intended operational levels. Ensure environmental conditions align with component ratings. Check for specific packaging or calibration documentation if required for precision applications.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring fixed 1 dB attenuation at frequencies up to 12.4 GHz. Consider the SMA interface type for connection compatibility. Evaluate the 2 Watt power rating against peak signal levels. Stainless steel housing offers durability for repeated use in test environments.

Part Context

Part of the Pasternack PE7045 series of fixed attenuators. Shares common design features with other values in the series, such as similar connector types and power ratings. Designed for consistent performance across the microwave frequency spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 1 dB SMA fixed attenuators rated for 12.4 GHz and 2 Watts. Verify impedance matching (50 Ohm) and connector gender before substitution.
