PE7091-0

Overview

The PE7091-0 is a 0 dB fixed attenuator manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The device has a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and is rated for a maximum power handling of 2 Watts. It maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.35:1. The unit utilizes a passivated stainless steel body construction.

Feature Summary

• Passivated stainless steel body construction
• In-line resistive PI attenuator pad design
• SMA male to SMA female connector interface

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation control
• Test and measurement equipment interconnects
• Wireless communication system integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Pasternack documentation to confirm connector type and attenuation value. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA interfaces in the target RF assembly. Confirm power rating requirements align with the 2 Watt specification before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 0 dB insertion loss or direct connection with mechanical robustness is required. The 50 Ohm impedance matches standard RF systems. Consider the 6 GHz frequency limit and 2 Watt power handling for high-frequency applications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack fixed attenuator series, designed for reliable performance in coaxial RF environments. It serves as a passive interconnect element that provides structural integrity while maintaining signal integrity across the specified bandwidth without introducing significant reflection.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 0 dB SMA male-to-female fixed attenuators from Pasternack, such as those in the PE7091 series with identical specifications. Verify that replacement units maintain the same 50 Ohm impedance and 6 GHz frequency range.
