PE7204-40

Overview

The PE7204-40 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides an attenuation value of 40 dB with a frequency range spanning from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The component operates at a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a power rating of 100W. It utilizes a HEX in-line module design, featuring 7/16 DIN female connectors on both the input and output ports.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation capability providing consistent signal reduction across the operational bandwidth
• High power handling capacity suitable for demanding RF applications
• Standardized 7/16 DIN female interface ensuring compatibility with standard coaxial systems

Applications

• RF signal level control in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment calibration
• Microwave circuit protection and isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type against system requirements before purchase. Confirm that the operating frequency and power levels remain within the specified 0 Hz to 6 GHz range and 100W limit. Ensure environmental conditions match the component's specifications for reliable performance.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 40 dB attenuation is required at high power levels up to 100W. The 7/16 DIN interface is ideal for applications requiring robust mechanical connections. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match to ensure minimal reflection in the target RF environment.
