PE7323-30

Overview

The PE7323-30 is a fixed 30 dB attenuator from Pasternack. This coaxial 50 Ohm attenuator features an in-line, resistive PI attenuator pad design. It utilizes N Female to N Female connectors and is directional. The component is rated for 50 Watts power handling up to 18 GHz frequency range.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 30 dB attenuation value
• N Female to N Female interface configuration
• Directional signal flow capability
• Resistive PI attenuator pad design

Applications

• RF signal level reduction
• Impedance matching in 50 Ohm systems
• Test and measurement setups requiring precise attenuation
• Protecting sensitive equipment from high power signals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and orientation against system requirements. Confirm that the directional nature of the attenuator aligns with the signal path direction in the application. Ensure the operating frequency does not exceed 18 GHz and power levels remain within the 50 Watt rating to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 30 dB attenuation is required in a 50 Ohm environment. The N Female to N Female interface suits standard coaxial connections. Consider the directional characteristic for proper signal routing. Verify compatibility with existing cable assemblies and connector types before integration into the RF chain.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack attenuator product line. It serves as a passive RF device designed to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The fixed attenuation value distinguishes it from variable attenuators, providing consistent performance across its operational bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. When replacing, ensure the new component matches the 30 dB attenuation, 50 Ohm impedance, N Female connectors, and 18 GHz frequency limit.
