PE7052-2

Overview

The Pasternack PE7052-2 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for TNC male to TNC female interconnections. It provides a precise attenuation value of 2 dB and operates up to a frequency of 18 GHz. The component is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 5 Watts at the stated attenuation level. This device ensures signal integrity in high-frequency applications requiring consistent signal reduction.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 2 dB attenuation
• Operates up to 18 GHz
• Rated for 5 Watts power handling

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Test and measurement setups
• Microwave circuit design

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (TNC Male to TNC Female) matches the system requirements. Confirm that the 5 Watt power rating and 18 GHz frequency limit are sufficient for the intended application environment. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 2 dB reduction is needed within an 18 GHz bandwidth. Ensure the TNC interface type aligns with existing cabling infrastructure. Consider the 5 Watt power rating to prevent thermal damage during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack fixed attenuator series, which offers various attenuation values and connector types for RF applications. It serves as a passive device to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion or reflection.

Replacement Considerations

Ensure any substitute part maintains the same 2 dB attenuation value, 18 GHz frequency range, and 5 Watt power rating. Verify compatibility with TNC connectors to maintain physical and electrical continuity.
