PE7206-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7206-10 is a fixed RF attenuator module designed for high-power applications. It provides a nominal attenuation value of 10 dB with a frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 6 GHz. The device features N female connectors on one side and 7/16 DIN female connectors on the other, facilitating interface conversion between these two standard series. Rated for up to 100 Watts at the stated attenuation value, this component operates within a 50 Ohm system impedance. It is constructed as a directional attenuator suitable for microwave signal processing tasks requiring precise power reduction.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 10 dB signal attenuation across a wide frequency spectrum
• Converts between N-type and 7/16 DIN connector interfaces
• Supports high-power operation up to 100 Watts
• Designed for directional signal flow in microwave systems

Applications

• Microwave signal power reduction in test and measurement setups
• High-power RF circuit protection and level adjustment
• Signal conditioning in communication infrastructure equipment
• Laboratory experiments requiring precise attenuation values

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the PE7206-10 designation to ensure correct attenuation and connector types. Confirm that the application environment remains within the 100 Watt power rating and 6 GHz frequency limit. Check for physical compatibility between N female and 7/16 DIN female ports before installation. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed to maintain component integrity during assembly.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when both 10 dB attenuation and high-power handling are required simultaneously. Select this part if the system necessitates a transition between N-type and 7/16 DIN interfaces. Consider this component for applications where directional performance is critical. Evaluate the 6 GHz upper frequency limit against system requirements to ensure adequate bandwidth coverage without signal degradation.
