PE7063-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7063-10 is a 10 dB DC bias attenuator designed for RF applications. It features TNC male to TNC female passivated connectors and operates at 50 Ohms impedance. This component allows simultaneous transmission of RF signals and DC power through the same line while maintaining signal attenuation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates DC bias capability with RF attenuation in a single passive component
• Utilizes TNC male to TNC female connector interface for secure connection
• Features passivated construction to enhance durability and corrosion resistance

Applications

• RF test and measurement setups requiring combined DC and RF paths
• Wireless communication systems needing integrated bias and signal control
• Instrumentation where space constraints favor combined functional components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the system requirements. Confirm that the 10 dB attenuation value aligns with the design specifications. Ensure the passivated finish meets environmental standards for the intended installation location.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when both DC power injection and precise RF signal reduction are required simultaneously. The TNC interface suits applications needing robust mechanical connections. Consider the power handling capabilities relative to the system's maximum operating levels.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's series of DC bias attenuators, which combine passive attenuation with DC passage functionality. These parts are engineered for environments where separate DC blocks and attenuators would increase complexity and insertion loss points.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 10 dB attenuation value, 50 Ohm impedance, and TNC male-to-female configuration. Verify that any alternative part maintains similar frequency range and power handling ratings to ensure system compatibility.
