PE7061-20

Overview

The PE7061-20 is a fixed DC bias attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides a nominal attenuation of 20 dB within a frequency range of 500 MHz to 2 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and is rated for 2 Watts of power handling. It utilizes SMA connectors, with a male gender on side 1 and a female gender on side 2. The device employs an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design and is housed in a passivated stainless steel body.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 20 dB attenuation value
• In-line resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Passivated stainless steel housing

Applications

• RF signal level control
• Microwave circuit testing
• Signal conditioning in RF systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector genders (SMA Male to SMA Female) against system requirements. Confirm that the 20 dB attenuation value aligns with the target signal reduction needs. Ensure the operating frequency range of 500 MHz to 2 GHz covers the intended application spectrum. Check that the 2 Watt power rating is sufficient for the maximum expected signal power to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 20 dB attenuation is required in the 500 MHz to 2 GHz band. Consider the SMA interface compatibility with existing cabling. Evaluate the 2 Watt power handling capability against peak signal levels. The stainless steel construction offers durability for industrial or outdoor environments where corrosion resistance is necessary.
