PE7047-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7047-30 is a fixed RF attenuator providing 30 dB attenuation. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. The device features N-Type connectors in an in-line module configuration. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts at the stated attenuation value.

Feature Summary

• Fixed resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Passivated stainless steel body construction
• In-line coaxial module form factor

Applications

• RF signal level reduction
• Impedance matching in microwave circuits
• Test and measurement setups requiring precise attenuation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender combination (N Male to N Female) matches your system requirements. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating and 12.4 GHz frequency limit are sufficient for your operational environment. Ensure the passivated stainless steel housing meets environmental durability standards for your installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 30 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system up to 12.4 GHz. Consider the N-Type interface compatibility with existing cabling. Evaluate the 2 Watt power handling against peak signal levels to prevent damage. Compare physical dimensions if space constraints exist in the assembly.

Part Context

This model belongs to the PE7047 series of fixed attenuators from Pasternack. The series offers various attenuation values, such as 1 dB, 6 dB, and 40 dB, sharing similar construction and performance characteristics. All units in this line utilize passivated stainless steel bodies and support frequencies up to 12.4 GHz with 2 Watt power ratings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PE7047 series models with different attenuation values if the dB requirement changes. Cross-brand replacements must match the 50 Ohm impedance, N-Type connectors, 12.4 GHz frequency range, and 2 Watt power rating.
