PE7052-1

Overview

The Pasternack PE7052-1 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a precise attenuation value of 1 dB. The component utilizes TNC connectors, featuring a male interface on one end and a female interface on the other. Constructed from black anodized aluminum, it ensures durability and effective thermal management. The device is rated to handle up to 5 Watts of power at the stated attenuation level. It operates effectively across a frequency range extending up to 18 GHz, making it suitable for demanding microwave environments.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 1 dB attenuation value
• TNC male to female connector configuration
• Black anodized aluminum housing
• Rated for 5 Watts power handling

Applications

• Microwave signal conditioning
• RF test and measurement setups
• Communication system integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7052-1 to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and tolerance specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing TNC interfaces in your assembly. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards. Confirm the power rating applies to the specific operating frequency range intended for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 1 dB reduction is required in a TNC-based system. Consider the 5 Watt power rating against your maximum signal levels. The 18 GHz frequency limit defines the upper operational boundary. Compare with other values in the PE7052 series if different attenuation steps are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE7052 series of fixed attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent TNC connectivity and power ratings. These parts are part of Pasternack's broader portfolio of RF and microwave components, which includes amplifiers, cables, and connectors for global supply chains.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PE7052 series models with different dB values, such as PE7052-2 or PE7052-10. Ensure any replacement maintains the TNC male-to-female configuration and meets the 18 GHz frequency requirement.
