PE7314-3

Overview

The PE7314-3 is a fixed attenuator module manufactured by Pasternack. It provides an attenuation value of 3 dB across a frequency range from DC to 7.5 GHz. The component operates with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 50 Watts. It features N Male input and 7/16 DIN Female output connectors, designed for reliable RF signal reduction in high-frequency applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 3 dB signal attenuation
• Operates effectively from DC up to 7.5 GHz
• Supports high power handling at 50 Watts
• Features robust N Male and 7/16 DIN connector interfaces

Applications

• RF test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication base stations
• Signal distribution networks
• Laboratory calibration setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 50 Watt power rating aligns with the operational environment's thermal and electrical constraints. Ensure compatibility with the 50 Ohm system impedance to maintain signal integrity. Check for any specific environmental ratings if outdoor or harsh condition usage is intended.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 3 dB reduction is required within the 7.5 GHz bandwidth. Consider the 50 Watt power handling capability for high-power transmission lines. Evaluate the physical connector types (N Male to 7/16 DIN) for mechanical fit. Compare against variable attenuators if adjustable loss is needed instead of a fixed value.

Part Context

This component belongs to the fixed attenuator category within Pasternack's RF interconnect portfolio. It serves as a passive device for controlling signal levels without active components. The design focuses on maintaining impedance matching and minimizing reflection losses across the specified frequency spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify connector compatibility and power ratings when sourcing alternatives from other manufacturers.
