PE7314-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7314-30 is a fixed coaxial attenuator designed for RF applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 30 dB with a maximum frequency rating of 7.5 GHz. The device features an N male connector on one side and a 7/16 DIN female connector on the other, facilitating directional signal measurement. It operates within a 50 Ohm impedance system and supports a power handling capacity of 50 Watts. The unit is constructed with a black anodized aluminum heatsink body to manage thermal loads effectively.

Feature Summary

• Directional design enables precise signal monitoring and measurement
• Robust black anodized aluminum heatsink body for thermal management
• Fixed 30 dB attenuation value ensures consistent signal reduction

Applications

• RF signal level monitoring in test and measurement setups
• Directional power measurement systems
• Signal conditioning in microwave communication links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector configuration (N Male to 7/16 DIN Female) matches your system requirements. Confirm the 7.5 GHz frequency limit and 50W power rating are sufficient for your operational environment. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm impedance standards. Check for any specific datasheet revisions or manufacturing lot details that may affect performance characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when directional attenuation is required between N-type and 7/16 DIN interfaces. It is suitable for applications needing high power handling up to 50 Watts. Consider the 7.5 GHz upper frequency limit for microwave applications. Ensure the physical size and mounting requirements align with your enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed RF attenuators. It is part of a series offering various attenuation values and connector combinations. The PE7314-30 specifically addresses needs for directional measurements using mixed connector types common in industrial and telecom infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 30 dB attenuation, 7.5 GHz frequency range, 50W power rating, and N Male to 7/16 DIN Female interface combination. Verify VSWR and insertion loss specifications if critical for precision applications.
