PE7094-40

Overview

The Pasternack PE7094-40 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a precise attenuation value of 40 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts. The component utilizes Type N connectors, featuring a male interface on one side and a female interface on the other, housed in a passivated stainless steel body.

Feature Summary

• Constructed with a durable passivated stainless steel body for environmental resilience
• Features Type N male-to-female coaxial configuration for reliable signal connection
• Provides fixed 40 dB attenuation for precise signal level control

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement setups requiring signal reduction
• RF circuit design for systems operating up to 18 GHz
• Signal conditioning in wireless communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (male-to-female) against system requirements before integration. Confirm that the 2 Watt power rating and 40 dB attenuation value align with the target application's electrical specifications. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm system impedance to maintain signal integrity and minimize reflections during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 40 dB attenuation is required at frequencies extending to 18 GHz. The Type N interface is suitable for robust connections in industrial or laboratory environments. Consider the 2 Watt power limit to ensure the component can handle the expected signal levels without thermal degradation or performance loss.

Part Context

This component belongs to the category of fixed coaxial attenuators manufactured by Pasternack. It serves as a passive RF component used to reduce signal amplitude without distorting the waveform. The use of Type N connectors indicates suitability for applications requiring secure, low-loss connections in microwave and radio frequency systems.

Replacement Considerations

No direct manufacturer substitutes are listed. Equivalent components must match the 40 dB attenuation, 50 Ohm impedance, 2 Watt power rating, and 18 GHz frequency range. Verify connector type (Type N) and gender configuration to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
