PE7208-6

Overview

The Pasternack PE7208-6 is a fixed attenuator designed for radio frequency applications up to 6 GHz. It features an N-type female connector on one side and an N-type male connector on the other, facilitating in-line module integration. The component is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 100 watts. It provides a precise attenuation value of 6 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. This directional attenuator ensures signal level reduction while maintaining system impedance matching across its specified frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 6 dB attenuation for signal level control
• Supports high power handling up to 100 watts
• Operates effectively within a frequency range extending to 6 GHz
• Features N-type female to N-type male directional connectors

Applications

• RF signal path attenuation in communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment signal conditioning
• Antenna system power management
• Circuit protection via signal level reduction

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the design requirements, as this model specifies female-to-male orientation. Confirm that the 100-watt power rating aligns with the operational peak power levels of the target application. Ensure the 6 GHz frequency limit covers the entire bandwidth of the intended signal spectrum without degradation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 6 GHz. Consider the 100-watt power rating for high-power RF environments. The N-type interface compatibility should be verified against existing system connectors. Directional characteristics may influence placement within the signal chain relative to source and load impedances.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack series of fixed attenuators. It is categorized under RF attenuators and directional modules. The product line includes various attenuation values and power ratings, all utilizing N-type interfaces for robust connectivity in industrial and commercial RF setups.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 6 dB fixed attenuators from Pasternack with identical N-type female-to-male configurations and similar power ratings. Verify frequency coverage up to 6 GHz and 50 Ohm impedance matching when evaluating alternative models.
