Overview
The PE7162-40 is a fixed 40 dB attenuator from Pasternack. This device features an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design. The coaxial unit operates at 50 Ohms and utilizes SMA Male to SMA Female connectors. It is housed in a passivated stainless steel body. The component is rated for up to 2 Watts of power handling. Its frequency range extends up to 6 GHz.
Feature Summary
- Fixed attenuation value of 40 dB
- Resistive PI attenuator pad design
- Passivated stainless steel body construction
Applications
- RF signal level reduction
- Impedance matching in coaxial systems
- Test and measurement setups
Procurement Notes
Verify the specific connector gender combination matches the SMA Male to SMA Female configuration. Confirm the power rating requirement aligns with the 2 Watt maximum limit. Ensure the operating frequency does not exceed the 6 GHz upper bound. Check that the passivated stainless steel housing meets environmental durability needs. Validate the 50 Ohm impedance compatibility with existing circuitry.
Selection Notes
Select this model when a precise 40 dB attenuation is required within the 6 GHz bandwidth. Consider the PI pad topology for stable performance characteristics. Evaluate the physical size constraints against the standard coaxial form factor. Assess the thermal management capabilities relative to the 2 Watt power rating. Compare alternative models if different attenuation values or connector types are necessary.
Part Context
This component belongs to Pasternack's series of fixed RF attenuators. These devices are designed for consistent signal reduction in microwave applications. The series typically offers various attenuation levels while maintaining standard impedance. The PE7162-40 specifically addresses high-attenuation needs in compact coaxial formats.
Replacement Considerations
Check for exact 40 dB fixed attenuator equivalents with SMA connectors. Verify identical 50 Ohm impedance and 6 GHz frequency limits. Ensure comparable 2 Watt power handling capabilities. Confirm similar passivated stainless steel construction for environmental resistance.
