PE70A1001

Overview

The PE70A1001 is a connectorized RF attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 1 GHz and provides an attenuation value spanning from 0 dB to 42 dB. The component features a 75 Ohm impedance system, designed for use with BNC connectors in an inline module configuration.

Feature Summary

• Provides variable attenuation control across a wide range using a digital step mechanism
• Engineered for 75 Ohm impedance systems compatible with standard BNC interfaces
• Constructed as an inline module for direct integration into signal paths

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment requiring precise signal level adjustment
• Broadcasting infrastructure utilizing 75 Ohm transmission lines
• Telecommunications systems operating within the specified frequency band

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE70A1001 to confirm exact pinout definitions and electrical tolerances. Ensure that the receiving equipment supports 75 Ohm impedance to prevent signal reflection issues. Confirm compatibility with BNC connector standards before integration into existing cable assemblies or test setups.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 75 Ohm system requires high-resolution attenuation steps up to 42 dB. It is suitable for applications where BNC connectivity is mandatory. Consider the 0 Hz to 1 GHz bandwidth to ensure it covers all operational frequencies without performance degradation.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of connectorized attenuators. It serves as a passive device for reducing signal power in radio frequency circuits. The product is categorized under RF interconnect solutions, specifically targeting precision attenuation needs in professional audio, video, and communication environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check for PE70A1008 or PE70A1009 if different attenuation ranges are required. Verify interface compatibility with BNC standards. Ensure impedance matching remains at 75 Ohms for seamless substitution in existing 75 Ohm networks.
