PE7091-4

Overview

The PE7091-4 is a fixed 4 dB attenuator from Pasternack, designed as an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and is housed in a passivated stainless steel body. The component operates at a characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms and is rated for up to 2 Watts of power handling up to 6 GHz.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment
• Impedance matching in test setups
• Signal attenuation in microwave circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and impedance match your system requirements. Confirm the power rating and frequency range align with your operational limits. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure the passivated finish meets environmental durability needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 4 dB attenuation is needed within the 6 GHz bandwidth. The SMA interface suits standard RF testing equipment. Consider the 2W power rating for moderate signal levels. The stainless steel body offers durability for repeated use in lab environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's coaxial attenuator series, specifically the PE7091 line. These components are designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring reliable signal reduction. The series includes various attenuation values with consistent SMA connectivity and robust construction.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 4 dB fixed attenuators with SMA male-female interfaces and similar power ratings. Ensure replacement parts maintain the 50 Ohm impedance and 6 GHz frequency coverage. Verify physical dimensions fit existing mounting constraints.
