PE7049-1

Overview

The Pasternack PE7049-1 is a fixed 1 dB attenuator featuring BNC male to BNC female connectors. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 4 GHz and handles up to 2 Watts of power. The device utilizes an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design housed in a brass body with nickel plating.

Feature Summary

• In-line resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Brass body with nickel plating for durability
• BNC male to BNC female connector configuration

Applications

• RF signal attenuation in test and measurement setups
• Impedance matching in 50 Ohm coaxial systems
• Signal level adjustment in communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model number PE7049-1 against official Pasternack documentation to confirm the 1 dB attenuation value and BNC interface. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm systems and check power handling requirements relative to your application's signal strength before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 1 dB reduction is required in the 0 to 4 GHz range. The BNC interface suits standard laboratory and industrial RF applications. Consider the 2 Watt power rating to ensure safe operation under expected load conditions without overheating or damage.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed coaxial attenuators. These components are designed to provide stable, predictable signal loss across specified frequency bands. The PE7049-1 specifically addresses needs for minor signal adjustments using robust BNC interconnects.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1 dB attenuation, BNC male-female configuration, and 4 GHz frequency limit. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 50 Ohm impedance and 2 Watt power handling capacity to ensure circuit integrity.
