PE7051-6

Overview

The Pasternack PE7051-6 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It features TNC male to TNC female connectors and operates within a frequency range of DC to 12.4 GHz. The device provides a precise attenuation value of 6 dB with a brass nickel body construction. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts at the specified attenuation level, ensuring reliable performance in microwave systems requiring signal reduction.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 6 dB signal attenuation
• Operates up to 12.4 GHz frequency range
• Features TNC male to TNC female interface
• Rated for 2 Watts power handling

Applications

• Microwave signal testing and measurement
• RF system calibration
• Signal level adjustment in communication links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model number PE7051-6 against official Pasternack documentation to confirm the 6 dB attenuation value and 12.4 GHz upper frequency limit. Ensure the TNC connector gender matches the system requirements. Confirm the 2 Watt power rating aligns with the operational environment to prevent damage. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required in TNC-based systems operating up to 12.4 GHz. The brass nickel body offers durability and shielding. Consider the 2 Watt power limit when designing circuits with higher signal levels. This fixed attenuator is suitable where variable adjustment is not needed, providing stable and precise attenuation characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack fixed attenuator series, which includes various attenuation values and connector types. The PE7051-6 specifically addresses the need for moderate signal reduction in TNC interfaces. It complements other models like the PE7051-20, offering different attenuation levels within the same physical form factor and frequency range capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Pasternack TNC fixed attenuators with identical 6 dB attenuation and 12.4 GHz limits. Verify connector compatibility and power ratings before substitution. Cross-reference with equivalent models from other manufacturers ensuring matching electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions.
