PE7050-30

Overview

The PE7050-30 is a fixed coaxial attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides a constant attenuation of 30 dB across a frequency range from DC to 4 GHz. The device is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. It utilizes BNC connectors, specifically a male-to-female configuration, and features a brass body with nickel plating. This component serves as a module with integrated connectors for RF signal reduction applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 30 dB attenuation
• Operates from DC to 4 GHz
• Rated for 2 Watts power handling

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
