PE7214-60

Overview

The Pasternack PE7214-60 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-power applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 60 dB with a maximum operating frequency of 6 GHz. The device features N-type female connectors on both the input and output ports, ensuring compatibility with standard coaxial systems. It is rated to handle up to 100 Watts of power at the specified attenuation value. The unit is housed in a directional black casing, suitable for robust microwave environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 60 dB signal reduction
• Supports power levels up to 100 Watts
• Operates effectively within a 6 GHz frequency range
• Features durable N-type female-to-female connections

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal level control in high-power circuits
• Attenuation requirements in wireless infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the PE7214-60 designation to ensure the correct 60 dB attenuation value and 100 Watt power rating. Confirm connector gender is N-type female on both ends. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Ensure the operational frequency does not exceed 6 GHz to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-power, fixed 60 dB attenuation is required in an N-type system. It is appropriate for applications demanding stability up to 6 GHz. Consider the physical size and weight constraints. Ensure the environment supports the thermal dissipation capabilities associated with 100 Watt handling.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed directional attenuators. It shares the same structural design and power ratings as other models in the series, such as the PE7214-10 or PE7214-30, differing primarily in the attenuation value. These components are engineered for consistent performance across various RF frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 60 dB fixed attenuators from Pasternack with N-type female connectors, such as those in the PE72xx series. Verify that any replacement maintains the 100 Watt power rating and 6 GHz frequency limit. Cross-reference connector dimensions to ensure mechanical fit.
