PE7091-12

Overview

The Pasternack PE7091-12 is a fixed RF attenuator providing 12 dB attenuation. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and is housed in a passivated stainless steel body. The component is rated for up to 2 Watts of power at the stated attenuation value and operates effectively up to 6 GHz frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 12 dB attenuation value
• SMA male to SMA female interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level control
• Microwave circuit testing
• Signal path power reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7091-12 model to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact mechanical dimensions. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the 2 Watt power rating or 6 GHz frequency limit specified for this fixed attenuator configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 12 dB reduction is required in an SMA-based system. The stainless steel body offers durability compared to plated alternatives. Confirm that the SMA connector gender and mating requirements align with the existing test setup or circuit design before integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack PE7091 series of fixed attenuators. The series includes various attenuation values such as 40 dB, 20 dB, and 10 dB options, all sharing similar SMA connector interfaces and power handling capabilities up to 6 GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 12 dB fixed SMA attenuators. Verify that replacement units match the 50 Ohm impedance, SMA connector type, and 2 Watt power rating to ensure functional equivalence.
