PE7089-7

Overview

The Pasternack PE7089-7 is a fixed RF attenuator module designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 7 dB with an operating frequency range from DC to 50 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and utilizes a 2.4mm inline connector interface. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 1 Watt. This device is engineered for precision signal level control in microwave test and measurement environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 7 dB signal attenuation across a wide bandwidth extending to 50 GHz
• Utilizes a robust 2.4mm inline connector interface for secure high-frequency integration
• Maintains 50 Ohm system impedance to ensure minimal signal reflection
• Rated for 1 Watt power handling to support standard RF signal levels

Applications

• Microwave test and measurement instrumentation
• RF signal path calibration and level setting
• High-frequency communication system prototyping
• Laboratory equipment requiring precise attenuation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7089-7 to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed electrical tolerances. Ensure that the 2.4mm connector compatibility matches the existing system infrastructure. Check for any recent updates regarding RoHS compliance or material specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 7 dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 50 GHz. The 2.4mm interface is suitable for compact, high-performance setups. Consider the 1 Watt power rating against the expected signal levels in the application. Compare with other Pasternack series if variable attenuation or different connector types are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack RF Attenuators category, specifically within the fixed attenuator modules. It is part of a series offering various attenuation values (e.g., PE7089-8, PE7089-9) to provide flexible signal management options for engineers designing high-frequency circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Pasternack models in the same series with identical 2.4mm interfaces and 50 Ohm impedance, such as PE7089-8 or PE7089-9, depending on the required attenuation value. Verify connector gender and mating compatibility.
