PE7310-30

Overview

The PE7310-30 is a fixed 30 dB attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It features 7/16 DIN female to 7/16 DIN male connectors and utilizes a resistive PI pad design within a directional black anodized aluminum heatsink body. The component operates from DC up to 7.5 GHz with a 50 Ohm impedance. It has a maximum power rating of 50 watts, a VSWR of 1.15:1, and functions between -55°C and +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Directional resistive PI pad design for signal attenuation
• Black anodized aluminum heatsink body construction
• 7/16 DIN connector interface configuration

Applications

• RF test and measurement setups requiring precise signal reduction
• Communication systems needing fixed attenuation levels
• Equipment protection via controlled signal power management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7310-30 to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector gender orientation. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Confirm that the 50-watt power rating aligns with system requirements at the operating frequency of 7.5 GHz. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 30 dB attenuation value is required in a 7/16 DIN system. The directional design aids in isolating components during testing. Consider the 50-watt power handling capability for high-power RF applications. The wide frequency range up to 7.5 GHz supports various microwave measurements. Ensure the bulkhead or inline mounting style fits the physical constraints of the assembly.
