PE7370-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7370-30 is a fixed 30 dB attenuator designed for RF applications. It features an N female to 7/16 DIN male interface configuration. The device operates within a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz and supports a power handling capacity of up to 10 Watts. Constructed with a black anodized aluminum heatsink body, it ensures thermal stability during operation. This coaxial component provides precise attenuation for signal management in high-frequency systems.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 30 dB attenuation value for consistent signal reduction
• Robust black anodized aluminum heatsink body for thermal management
• Wideband operational capability from DC to 18 GHz
• High power handling rating of 10 Watts

Applications

• Precision measurement systems requiring stable signal levels
• Production test environments for RF circuit characterization
• General-purpose RF signal conditioning and isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type (N female to 7/16 DIN male) against system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 10 Watt power rating and 18 GHz frequency limit align with the intended application's operational parameters. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware due to the heatsink body design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 30 dB attenuation is required between N-type and 7/16 DIN connectors. Consider the 10 Watt power handling and 18 GHz bandwidth as critical constraints. The aluminum heatsink body makes it suitable for applications where thermal dissipation is necessary. Verify impedance matching requirements for the specific RF environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of coaxial RF attenuators. It serves as a passive device for reducing signal amplitude without distortion. The N to 7/16 DIN interface allows integration into systems utilizing these standard connector types. It is distinct from variable attenuators or other fixed values in the series.
