PE7206-40

Overview

The Pasternack PE7206-40 is a fixed RF attenuator providing 40 dB attenuation. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. The device features N female to 7/16 DIN female connectors and is rated for up to 100 Watts of power handling.

Feature Summary

• In-line resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Coaxial 50 Ohm impedance matching
• Directional configuration

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in high-power systems
• Test and measurement setups requiring precise attenuation
• Microwave circuit protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector types (N female to 7/16 DIN female) and power rating (100W) against system requirements. Confirm the frequency range (DC to 6 GHz) matches application needs. Ensure compatibility with existing coaxial infrastructure before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 40 dB attenuation is required at high power levels up to 100W. Consider the specific connector interface combination of N female and 7/16 DIN female for integration. Verify that the 6 GHz upper frequency limit suits the operational bandwidth.

Part Context

This model belongs to Pasternack's line of RF attenuators, designed for passive signal control. It utilizes a resistive PI topology to achieve stable attenuation characteristics across its specified frequency range while handling significant power loads.
