PE7204-6

Overview

The Pasternack PE7204-6 is a fixed attenuator featuring 7/16 DIN female connectors on both ends. It provides a nominal attenuation of 6 dB with a power handling capacity of 100 Watts and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The unit utilizes a hexagonal in-line module design for secure installation.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 6 dB attenuation value
• High power handling rated to 100 Watts
• Operates up to 6 GHz frequency range
• Directional 7/16 DIN female interface

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in microwave systems
• Impedance matching between components
• Signal conditioning in test and measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet for precise VSWR and return loss values before integration. Confirm that the 100 Watt rating applies to the intended operating frequency and duty cycle. Ensure connector compatibility with existing 7/16 DIN infrastructure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. The 100 Watt power rating suits high-power applications. The 7/16 DIN interface is standard for robust RF connections requiring high power handling.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed attenuators designed for microwave applications. It serves as a passive component to control signal strength without active power sources, ensuring stable performance across the specified bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible 7/16 DIN female-to-female attenuators with similar 6 dB attenuation and 100 Watt power ratings. Verify frequency coverage matches or exceeds 6 GHz requirements.
