PE7091-15

Overview

The Pasternack PE7091-15 is a fixed coaxial attenuator providing 15 dB attenuation. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and utilizes a passivated stainless steel body. The component is rated for operation up to 6 GHz with a power handling capacity of 2 Watts at the stated attenuation value.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 15 dB attenuation level
• SMA male to SMA female interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal level reduction
• Impedance matching in microwave circuits
• Test and measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify connector gender and attenuation value against schematic requirements. Confirm frequency range compatibility up to 6 GHz. Ensure power rating of 2 Watts aligns with system specifications. Check RoHS compliance status via manufacturer documentation before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring precise 15 dB loss within the 6 GHz bandwidth. The SMA interface suits standard RF test equipment. Stainless steel housing provides durability. Verify that the 2 Watt power limit meets operational demands without derating.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE7091 series of fixed attenuators. The series offers various attenuation values from 1 dB to 40 dB. All units share similar SMA connectivity and stainless steel construction. This specific part provides the 15 dB variant within that standardized product line.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 15 dB fixed attenuators with SMA male-female interfaces. Ensure replacement parts support 6 GHz frequency and 2 Watt power ratings. Verify mechanical dimensions match existing mounting constraints.
