PE7316-10

Overview

The PE7316-10 is a fixed 10 dB attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It features a 7/16 DIN female to N female interface configuration and operates within a 50 Ohm impedance system. The device utilizes an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design for signal reduction. The housing is finished with a directional black anodized coating. This component is designed for use in coaxial RF applications requiring precise attenuation.

Feature Summary

• In-line resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Directional black anodized finish
• Coaxial 50 Ohm impedance construction

Applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 7/16 DIN female to N female configuration matches the existing cabling infrastructure. Ensure the 50 Ohm impedance rating aligns with the system design specifications to prevent mismatch issues.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 10 dB attenuation value is required between 7/16 DIN and N-type connectors. Consider the physical size and mounting constraints associated with the bulkhead or inline form factor. Evaluate the power handling capabilities relative to the maximum operating power of the RF chain to ensure reliable performance under load conditions.
