PE7085-2

Overview

The Pasternack PE7085-2 is a fixed attenuator designed for RF applications. It provides an attenuation value of 2 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of DC to 2.4 GHz. It supports a power rating of up to 500 Watts at the stated attenuation value. The component features Type N connectors, with male gender on side 1 and female gender on side 2. The impedance is specified as 50 Ohms.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 2 dB signal reduction
• Supports high power handling up to 500 Watts
• Operates effectively from DC to 2.4 GHz

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Test and measurement systems
• Microwave circuit design

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the application requirements. Confirm that the operating frequency does not exceed the 2.4 GHz limit. Ensure the system power levels remain within the 500 Watt rating to prevent damage. Check for any specific environmental ratings if used in harsh conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a low attenuation value of 2 dB is required. Consider the 500 Watt power rating for high-power applications. Ensure compatibility with Type N connectors. Verify the 50 Ohm impedance matches the system design. Evaluate the 2.4 GHz frequency range against the operational needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE7085 series of fixed attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent connector types and power ratings. It is part of a broader lineup including models like PE7085-3 and PE7085-20. The series is designed for reliable performance in RF environments.

Replacement Considerations

PE7085-3 (3 dB), PE7085-20 (20 dB). These share the same connector type and power rating but differ in attenuation.
