PE7201-3

Overview

The Pasternack PE7201-3 is a fixed RF attenuator rated for operation up to 6 GHz. It provides a precise attenuation value of 3 dB at the specified frequency range. The component is designed as an in-line module with a power handling capacity of 100 Watts. It features a directional configuration, utilizing a 7/16 DIN Female connector on one end and a 7/16 DIN Male connector on the other. The unit operates within a 50 Ohm impedance system.

Feature Summary

• Directional in-line module design
• High power handling capability
• Fixed attenuation performance

Applications

• RF signal level control
• Test and measurement setups
• Microwave circuit integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration (Female-to-Male) against system requirements. Confirm that the 100 Watt power rating aligns with peak signal levels. Ensure the 7/16 DIN interface matches existing infrastructure. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 3 dB reduction is required in high-power applications up to 6 GHz. The 7/16 DIN interface suits robust industrial or base station environments. Consider the directional nature if isolation characteristics are relevant to the signal path.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE7201 series of fixed attenuators. The series includes variants with different attenuation values and connector combinations. These modules are engineered for stability and precision in microwave frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Pasternack models with identical 3 dB attenuation and 7/16 DIN interfaces. Verify compatibility with any directional coupler requirements if the application relies on the specific directional properties.
