PE7367-50

Overview

The PE7367-50 is a fixed RF attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides a nominal attenuation of 50 dB with a frequency range extending from 0 Hz to 8 GHz. The device utilizes N-Type connectors, specifically N Male to N Female configuration. It is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 25 Watts within its specified operational bandwidth. The housing is constructed from black anodized aluminum, serving as a heatsink body to manage thermal dissipation during operation.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation value of 50 dB
• Operational frequency range up to 8 GHz
• N Male to N Female connector interface
• Black anodized aluminum heatsink body construction

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement setups
• Signal conditioning in wireless communication systems
• Attenuation requirements in microwave circuit design

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7367-50 to confirm current RoHS compliance status and detailed electrical tolerances. Ensure that the required power rating of 25 Watts aligns with the system's peak power demands to prevent component damage. Confirm connector gender and mating compatibility with existing cable assemblies before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 50 dB attenuation is required at frequencies up to 8 GHz. The N-Type interface makes it suitable for standard coaxial applications. Consider the 25 Watt power rating against the actual signal levels in the chain. The aluminum heatsink design aids in thermal management for continuous wave applications.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's series of fixed N-Type attenuators. Similar models in the series offer different attenuation values such as 3 dB, 6 dB, 10 dB, 20 dB, 30 dB, 40 dB, and others, all sharing the same N Male to N Female form factor and general construction style. The series maintains consistent power handling and connector types across varying attenuation steps.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Pasternack N-Type fixed attenuators if different attenuation values are acceptable, such as PE7367-40 or PE7367-30. Cross-manufacturer replacements must match the N Male/N Female interface, 50 Ohm impedance, 50 dB attenuation, and 25 Watt power rating up to 8 GHz.
