PE7088-9

Overview

The Pasternack PE7088-9 is a fixed attenuator featuring 2.92mm male to 2.92mm female connectors. It provides a nominal attenuation of 9 dB with a stainless steel body. The component is rated for up to 1 Watt power handling and operates at frequencies up to 40 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Stainless steel construction for durability
• Precision 2.92mm connector interface
• Fixed 9 dB attenuation value

Applications

• RF signal testing equipment
• Microwave measurement systems
• Signal path power reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7088-9 model to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with 2.92mm mating interfaces in the target assembly. Check for any specific handling requirements due to the precision connector type.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 9 dB loss is required within a 40 GHz bandwidth. The 2.92mm interface ensures low VSWR performance compared to larger connectors. Consider the 1 Watt power rating against system peak levels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack PE7088 series of fixed attenuators. The series utilizes stainless steel bodies and 2.92mm connectors to maintain high-frequency performance. Other values in the series include 2, 4, 8, 10, and 20 dB options.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 9 dB fixed attenuators with 2.92mm male-to-female interfaces and 40 GHz frequency ratings. Verify that replacement units match the 1 Watt power handling capability and physical footprint.
