PE7370-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7370-10 is a fixed coaxial attenuator providing 10 dB attenuation. It features an N Female to 7/16 DIN Male interface configuration. The device utilizes a black anodized aluminum heatsink body for thermal management. It is rated for operation up to 25 Watts of power handling capacity and supports frequency ranges extending up to 7.5 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value
• N Female to 7/16 DIN Male connector interface
• Black anodized aluminum heatsink construction

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test setups
• Impedance matching between N-type and 7/16 DIN systems
• Power dissipation in high-frequency circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise VSWR and insertion loss tolerances. Confirm that the 7/16 DIN male interface matches the receiving equipment port, as this connector type differs from standard N-type connections. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 25 Watt power rating or 7.5 GHz frequency limit specified for this component.

Selection Notes

Select this model when interfacing between N-type and 7/16 DIN connectors is required. The heatsink design supports higher power applications compared to standard plastic-bodied attenuators. Consider the physical size constraints of the heatsink body during installation in dense RF assemblies.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed coaxial attenuators designed for broadband RF applications. It serves as a passive interconnect device to reduce signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion within its specified frequency range.
