PE7367-3

Overview

The Pasternack PE7367-3 is a fixed RF attenuator module designed for in-line applications. It features N-type connectors with male-to-female configuration and provides a nominal attenuation of 3 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz and supports a maximum power handling capacity of 25 Watts at the specified attenuation value. Constructed as a black inline module, it ensures signal level reduction across microwave frequencies while maintaining impedance characteristics suitable for standard RF systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 3 dB signal attenuation
• Operates up to 18 GHz frequency range
• Supports 25 Watts power handling
• Features N-type male to female connectors

Applications

• Microwave signal level adjustment
• RF test and measurement setups
• Signal distribution network balancing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration matches the system requirements before integration. Confirm that the operating frequency does not exceed the 18 GHz upper limit. Ensure the expected signal power remains within the 25 Watt rating to prevent component damage. Check datasheet specifications for VSWR and return loss values relevant to the application bandwidth.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 3 dB reduction is required in high-frequency environments. Consider the N-type interface compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 25 Watt power rating. Compare against variable attenuators if adjustable signal levels are necessary instead of fixed attenuation.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed RF attenuators. It serves as a passive microwave device used to reduce signal amplitude without distortion. The N-type interface allows for robust connections in industrial and laboratory settings. It complements other Pasternack components like surge protectors and cable assemblies in complete RF system designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible N-type fixed attenuators from other manufacturers offering similar 3 dB attenuation and 18 GHz performance. Verify power handling capabilities match or exceed 25 Watts. Ensure connector dimensions and torque specifications align with existing mounting hardware.
