PE7371-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7371-30 is a 30 dB fixed RF attenuator designed for N-type female-to-female connections. It features a black anodized aluminum heatsink body and is rated for up to 25 Watts power handling at the stated attenuation value. The component operates effectively up to 18 GHz frequency range, providing stable signal reduction in microwave applications.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 30 dB attenuation value
• N-type female connector interface
• Heatsink body construction
• Rated for 25 Watts power

Applications

• Microwave signal conditioning
• RF test and measurement setups
• Communication system power management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7371-30 to confirm current manufacturing status and compliance details. Ensure that the N-type female connectors match your system requirements. Check for any recent updates regarding the 18 GHz performance limits or power rating specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a precise 30 dB attenuation is required within an N-type system architecture. Consider the 25 Watt power rating and 18 GHz frequency limit against your operational parameters. The heatsink design aids in thermal management for continuous wave applications requiring significant signal reduction.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed RF attenuators. It serves as a passive device for reducing signal amplitude without introducing significant distortion. The N-type interface ensures compatibility with standard coaxial systems operating in the microwave spectrum.

Replacement Considerations

PE7371-20 offers 20 dB attenuation with similar N-type female connectors and power ratings. PE7371-3 provides 3 dB attenuation using the same form factor. Verify connector gender and frequency range compatibility when substituting.
