PE7337-50

Overview

The Pasternack PE7337-50 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for high-frequency applications. It provides a precise attenuation value of 50 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The device operates across a frequency range from DC to 18 GHz. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 50 Watts at the stated attenuation level. The component utilizes SMA female connectors on both input and output ports, ensuring compatibility with standard coaxial systems.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 50 dB attenuation value for signal reduction
• SMA female connector interface for reliable connection
• Operates up to 18 GHz frequency range
• Rated for 50 Watts power handling

Applications

• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal conditioning in microwave circuits
• Attenuation in communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number PE7337-50 against official Pasternack documentation to ensure correct specifications. Confirm that the required attenuation, frequency range, and power rating align with your system design requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 50 dB attenuation is required within an 18 GHz bandwidth. Ensure the system impedance matches 50 Ohms and that the power levels do not exceed the 50 Watt rating. Verify connector compatibility with existing SMA interfaces.

Part Context

This model belongs to the PE7337 series of fixed attenuators from Pasternack. The series offers various attenuation values while maintaining consistent SMA female connectivity and similar power handling capabilities across different dB ratings.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Pasternack models within the PE7337 series offering identical 50 dB attenuation and SMA female interfaces. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 50 Ohm impedance and 18 GHz frequency limit.
