PE7045-6

Overview

The PE7045-6 is a fixed attenuator from Pasternack, providing 6 dB attenuation. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and a passivated stainless steel body. The component is rated for up to 2 Watts power handling and operates at frequencies up to 12.4 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value
• SMA male to SMA female interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Test and measurement setups
• Impedance matching networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for detailed VSWR and insertion loss specifications. Confirm connector gender and polarity requirements match the system design. Ensure thermal management aligns with the 2 Watt power rating under continuous operation conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 6 dB reduction is required in high-frequency applications. The SMA interface suits standard RF test equipment. Consider the stainless steel body for durability in industrial environments compared to plastic alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PE7045 series of connectorized attenuators. It complements other values in the range, such as the PE7045-3 and PE7045-10, offering standardized attenuation steps for consistent system integration across various frequency bands.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 6 dB SMA fixed attenuators from Pasternack or compatible manufacturers. Verify that replacement units maintain the same 12.4 GHz maximum frequency and 2 Watt power rating.
