PE7092-4

Overview

The Pasternack PE7092-4 is a fixed coaxial attenuator rated for 50 Ohm impedance with an attenuation value of 4 dB. It features SMA male to SMA female connectors and operates up to a maximum frequency of 18 GHz. The unit utilizes a passivated stainless steel body, ensuring durability in demanding environments. Designed as an inline resistive PI attenuator pad, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +125 C. This component serves as a precise signal reduction solution within RF systems requiring stable performance across microwave frequencies.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 4 dB attenuation level provided by an inline resistive PI attenuator pad design
• SMA male to SMA female connector interface for standard coaxial integration
• Passivated stainless steel body construction for environmental resilience
• Operational capability extending up to 18 GHz maximum frequency

Applications

• RFID system signal conditioning
• Public utility monitoring equipment
• SCADA application signal management
• Data acquisition system calibration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to ensure the correct connector type and attenuation value are selected. Confirm that the passivated stainless steel body specification matches the required environmental protection standards for the intended deployment. Cross-reference the maximum operating temperature rating of +125 C with the thermal constraints of the host system to prevent performance degradation under load.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 4 dB signal reduction is required within a 50 Ohm system architecture. Ensure compatibility with SMA interfaces on both input and output sides. Consider the 18 GHz frequency limit and +125 C temperature rating when evaluating suitability for high-frequency or high-thermal applications compared to alternative attenuator series.

Part Context

The PE7092-4 belongs to the Pasternack PE7092 series of connectorized attenuators. This series offers various attenuation levels while maintaining consistent SMA connectivity and stainless steel construction. The product line targets professional RF applications requiring reliable signal attenuation across microwave bands without compromising impedance matching or physical durability.

Replacement Considerations

PE7092-10 provides 10 dB attenuation with identical interface and construction specifications. PE7092-5 offers 5 dB attenuation using the same SMA male-to-female configuration and passivated stainless steel body. These variants maintain functional consistency while adjusting signal reduction levels.
