PE7088-1

Overview

The Pasternack PE7088-1 is a fixed attenuator featuring 2.92mm male to 2.92mm female connectors with a 50 Ohm impedance. It provides a nominal attenuation of 1 dB and operates up to 40 GHz. The unit is rated for a maximum power of 1 Watt. Constructed with a stainless steel body, it ensures durability in high-frequency applications.

Feature Summary

• Operates from DC to 40 GHz frequency range
• Features 2.92mm male to female connector interface
• Constructed with a durable stainless steel body

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement setups
• Microwave circuit signal level adjustment
• RF system component characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the design requirements. Confirm that the 1 Watt power rating and 40 GHz frequency limit are sufficient for the intended application environment. Ensure compatibility with existing 2.92mm infrastructure.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 1 dB attenuation is required at frequencies approaching 40 GHz. Consider the stainless steel construction for environmental robustness. Evaluate if the 2.92mm interface aligns with the rest of the RF chain components.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack fixed attenuator series designed for precision RF applications. It complements other models in the PE7088 family, which offer varying attenuation values while maintaining similar high-frequency performance and connector standards.

Replacement Considerations

PE7088-10 offers 10 dB attenuation within the same form factor. PE7088-1F provides a female-to-female interface variant. Verify connector gender and attenuation value before substitution.
