PE7212-10

Overview

The PE7212-10 is a fixed 10 dB attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It features a 7/16 DIN female connector on one end and an N female connector on the other. The device operates as an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design within a coaxial 50 Ohm system. It is directionally rated to 100 Watts of power handling capacity.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value
• Resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Directional power rating up to 100 Watts

Applications

• RF signal level reduction
• Impedance matching in 50 Ohm systems
• Test and measurement setups

Procurement Notes

Verify connector compatibility between 7/16 DIN and N-type interfaces before integration. Confirm that the 100 Watt directional power rating aligns with peak operational requirements. Ensure the fixed 10 dB loss meets system budget constraints without requiring adjustable alternatives.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10 dB reduction is required between 7/16 DIN and N connectors. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance match for system consistency. Evaluate the 100 Watt power limit against maximum expected signal levels to prevent damage or performance degradation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed attenuators designed for RF applications. It bridges different connector standards while maintaining signal integrity through a resistive network. The specific combination of 7/16 DIN and N connectors addresses interface conversion needs in high-power scenarios.
