PE7092-9

Overview

The PE7092-9 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Pasternack, designed for RF applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 9 dB with a frequency range spanning from 0 Hz to 18 GHz. The component features SMA male-to-female connectors and operates at a 50 Ohm impedance. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. The unit utilizes a resistive PI attenuator pad design housed in a passivated stainless steel body.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 9 dB attenuation level
• Wideband operation up to 18 GHz
• SMA male to female interface
• Passivated stainless steel construction

Applications

• RF signal testing and measurement
• Instrumentation systems
• Telecommunications equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and connector gender configuration upon ordering. Confirm that the 2W power rating aligns with system requirements. Ensure SMA mating compatibility within the target circuit environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 9 dB reduction is required across a broad DC to 18 GHz spectrum. The SMA interface suits standard lab and field setups. Consider the 2W power limit for high-power lines. The stainless steel body offers durability for repeated connection cycles.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's PE7092 series of fixed attenuators. The series includes various attenuation values such as 3, 6, 10, and 40 dB. All units share similar physical dimensions and SMA connectivity, differing primarily in internal resistive networks to achieve specific loss values.

Replacement Considerations

PE7092-10 offers 10 dB attenuation. PE7092-6 provides 6 dB attenuation. Both maintain identical SMA interfaces and 18 GHz bandwidth specifications.
