PE7314-6

Overview

The Pasternack PE7314-6 is a fixed RF attenuator module designed for high-power applications. It provides a precise attenuation value of 6 dB across a frequency range of 0 Hz to 7.5 GHz. The component features a 50 Ohm impedance and supports a maximum power rating of 50 Watts at the stated attenuation level. It utilizes an N Male connector on one side and a 7/16 DIN Female connector on the other, facilitating interface conversion between these standard types. The unit exhibits a typical maximum VSWR of 1.45:1.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 6 dB attenuation for signal level control
• Supports high power handling up to 50 Watts
• Converts between N Male and 7/16 DIN Female interfaces
• Operates effectively from DC to 7.5 GHz

Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Telecommunications equipment signal conditioning
• Microwave system power management
• General-purpose RF circuit attenuation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type matches your system requirements, as this model converts between N Male and 7/16 DIN Female. Confirm that the 50 Watt power rating and 6 dB attenuation value align with your design specifications. Ensure the operating frequency range up to 7.5 GHz covers your application needs. Check for any required mounting hardware or thermal management solutions given the power dissipation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 6 dB reduction is required in a 50 Ohm system. It is suitable for applications needing robust power handling capabilities up to 50 Watts. Choose this part if interface adaptation between N-type and 7/16 DIN connectors is necessary within the same assembly. Consider the physical size and weight constraints associated with its aluminum construction.

Part Context

This attenuator belongs to Pasternack's line of microwave components designed for reliable performance in demanding environments. It serves as a passive device to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The black anodized aluminum housing provides durability and aids in heat dissipation during operation.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users must ensure exact compatibility regarding connector types, attenuation value, and power ratings when seeking alternatives.
