PE7202-6

Overview

The PE7202-6 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises Inc. It provides an attenuation value of 6 dB with a frequency range spanning from DC to 6 GHz. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 100 Watts. It features N Female connectors on one side and 7/16 DIN Male connectors on the other, designed for directional signal reduction in RF systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 6 dB signal attenuation across a wide frequency spectrum up to 6 GHz
• Supports high power handling capabilities rated at 100 Watts for robust operation
• Features mixed connector interface combining N Female and 7/16 DIN Male genders

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment requiring fixed attenuation
• Directional signal monitoring and protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify exact specifications against official datasheets before procurement. Confirm connector gender orientation and power ratings match system requirements. Ensure environmental conditions align with component operating limits. Check for specific certification requirements such as REACH compliance if applicable to your region or industry standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 6 dB attenuation is required within a 50 Ohm system operating up to 6 GHz. Consider the 100 Watt power rating for high-power applications. Evaluate the need for mixed N Female and 7/16 DIN Male interfaces to ensure compatibility with existing cabling and equipment connectors without requiring additional adapters.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of RF and microwave attenuators. It is part of a series offering various attenuation values and connector combinations. The PE7202-6 specifically addresses needs for moderate attenuation in high-power scenarios using standard industrial connector types.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent models with identical 6 dB attenuation and 100W rating. Verify connector compatibility between N Female and 7/16 DIN Male interfaces. Ensure frequency response matches up to 6 GHz. Consult manufacturer documentation for direct substitutes or updated series replacements.
