PE7087-6

Overview

The PE7087-6 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and utilizes a passivated stainless steel body. The component provides a nominal attenuation of 6 dB and operates within a frequency range up to 26 GHz. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts at the stated attenuation value.

Feature Summary

• Incorporates high-performance SMA connectors to support operation up to 26 GHz
• Constructed with a durable passivated stainless steel body
• Provides a fixed 6 dB attenuation level

Applications

• Microwave signal conditioning
• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal level reduction in communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required attenuation value matches the specific application needs, as this model provides a fixed 6 dB reduction. Confirm that the operating frequency does not exceed the 26 GHz limit and that the power requirements remain within the 2 Watt rating. Ensure connector compatibility with existing SMA interfaces before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6 dB signal reduction is required in microwave applications. It is suitable for environments where a robust stainless steel construction is preferred. Consider the 26 GHz frequency capability and 2 Watt power rating to ensure alignment with system specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack PE7087 series of fixed attenuators. The series utilizes high-performance SMA connectors to achieve performance up to 26 GHz. Variants in this series offer different attenuation values, such as 2 dB, 8 dB, and 12 dB, while maintaining similar connector types and power ratings.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other models from the PE7087 series with matching 6 dB attenuation, such as those from Pasternack. Ensure any replacement maintains the SMA male-to-female configuration and meets the 26 GHz frequency and 2 Watt power specifications.
