PE7087-1

Overview

The Pasternack PE7087-1 is a fixed attenuator featuring SMA male to SMA female connectors. It provides 1 dB attenuation with a maximum frequency of 26 GHz. The unit has a power rating of 2 Watts and an impedance of 50 Ohms. VSWR is 1.3:1. The body is constructed from passivated stainless steel.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 1 dB attenuation value
• SMA male to SMA female interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Microwave circuit testing
• Signal path power reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the application requirements, as this model specifies male-to-female interfaces. Confirm that the 26 GHz frequency range and 2 Watt power handling capacity are sufficient for the intended operational environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 1 dB reduction is required in high-frequency applications up to 26 GHz. Ensure the system impedance is 50 Ohms to maintain signal integrity. Consider the stainless steel housing for durability in demanding environments compared to other material options.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PE7087 series of fixed attenuators from Pasternack. The series utilizes high-performance SMA connectors to extend performance capabilities up to 26 GHz. These components are designed for reliable operation in microwave systems requiring stable attenuation values.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with different attenuation values such as PE7087-2 or PE7087-10. Verify connector gender compatibility if replacing with generic SMA attenuators.
