PE7089-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7089-30 is a fixed RF attenuator featuring a 2.4mm male connector on one side and a 2.4mm female connector on the other. It provides a precise attenuation value of 30 dB. The component is rated for operation up to a maximum frequency of 50 GHz. It has a power handling capacity of 1 Watt at the stated attenuation value. The body is constructed from stainless steel, ensuring durability in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 30 dB signal attenuation
• Operates with 2.4mm male-to-female connectors
• Supports frequencies up to 50 GHz
• Features a stainless steel housing

Applications

• Microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal level reduction in high-frequency circuits
• RF system calibration and characterization

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7089-30 to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed electrical tolerances. Ensure that the 2.4mm connector interface matches the system requirements. Check for any updated compliance certifications or environmental restrictions relevant to the procurement region before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 30 dB reduction is required in systems operating up to 50 GHz. The 2.4mm interface is suitable for high-density applications. Consider the 1 Watt power rating against the actual signal levels in the circuit to prevent damage. Stainless steel construction offers robustness for industrial or aerospace use cases.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE7089 series of fixed attenuators. The series includes various attenuation values such as 2, 6, 7, 10, and 30 dB, all sharing the same 2.4mm connector type and 50 GHz frequency limit. This standardization allows for consistent mechanical integration across different signal processing needs within the same frequency band.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Pasternack models within the PE7089 series offering identical 30 dB attenuation and 2.4mm interfaces. Cross-brand replacements must match the 2.4mm gender configuration, 50 GHz frequency range, and 1 Watt power rating to ensure functional equivalence.
