PE7047-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7047-10 is a fixed attenuator module designed for RF applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with a frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz. The component features N-type connectors, specifically an N male input and an N female output. It operates at a 50 Ohm impedance and supports a maximum power rating of 2 Watts. The housing is constructed from passivated stainless steel, ensuring durability in various environments.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value maintained across the operational bandwidth
• Passivated stainless steel body for corrosion resistance and mechanical stability
• N-type connector interface facilitating standard RF interconnection

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in test and measurement setups
• Impedance matching and signal conditioning in microwave circuits
• Protection of sensitive receiver inputs from high power signals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise VSWR and insertion loss values before integration. Confirm that the N-type connector gender matches your system requirements. Ensure the operating environment temperature remains within the component's specified limits to maintain performance stability and prevent damage during high-power operation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB reduction is required up to 12.4 GHz. The N-type interface suits applications needing robust mechanical connections. Consider the 2W power handling capability relative to your system's peak power levels. The stainless steel construction offers advantages in harsh environments compared to plated alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed attenuators. It serves as a passive RF device used to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The N-type connector choice indicates suitability for lower frequency ranges compared to smaller connectors like SMA or 2.92mm, offering higher power handling and durability.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible N-type fixed attenuators with identical 10 dB attenuation and 12.4 GHz upper frequency limits. Verify power ratings and physical dimensions to ensure fitment. Ensure impedance remains 50 Ohms to maintain system match.
