PE7202-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7202-10 is a fixed RF attenuator module designed for radio frequency applications up to 6 GHz. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 10 dB with a power handling capacity of 100 Watts at the stated attenuation level. The component features an N Female connector on one port and a 7/16 DIN Male connector on the other, facilitating interface conversion in microwave systems. Constructed with a black anodized aluminum heatsink body, it ensures thermal stability during operation. This directional attenuator is suitable for high-power signal management in test and measurement environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 10 dB attenuation for precise signal level control
• Converts between N Female and 7/16 DIN Male interfaces
• Features a black anodized aluminum heatsink body for thermal management
• Operates directionally within a frequency range up to 6 GHz

Applications

• RF signal attenuation in microwave test and measurement setups
• Signal level adjustment in communication systems requiring interface conversion
• High-power RF circuit protection and monitoring applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Pasternack Enterprises, Inc. to confirm current electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the 100 Watt power rating aligns with your system's thermal dissipation requirements. Confirm compatibility between N Female and 7/16 DIN Male connectors for your specific application interface needs before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB reduction is required alongside N Female to 7/16 DIN Male transition. Consider the 6 GHz upper frequency limit and 100 Watt power handling capability against your system specifications. The heatsink design supports continuous operation; verify ambient temperature conditions match the component's thermal profile for reliable performance.
