PE7385-30

Overview

The Pasternack PE7385-30 is a fixed coaxial attenuator rated for frequencies up to 3 GHz. It features N-Type connectors with male-to-female gender configuration and operates within a 50 Ohm impedance system. The unit provides a fixed attenuation value of 30 dB. It is designed as an in-line module with a black anodized aluminum heatsink body, supporting a maximum power handling capacity of 100 Watts.

Feature Summary

• Fixed resistive PI attenuator pad design
• Black anodized aluminum heatsink body construction
• N-Type male to female connector interface

Applications

• Signal reduction for measurement equipment protection
• Precision instrumentation applications
• RF/microwave circuit testing setups

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific model number PE7385-30 against official Pasternack documentation to confirm the 30 dB attenuation rating and 3 GHz frequency limit. Ensure compatibility with 50 Ohm systems and check that the N-Type male-to-female configuration matches the required circuit topology before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30 dB signal reduction is required at frequencies up to 3 GHz. Consider the 100 Watt power rating and the physical dimensions of the heatsink body for integration into existing test or instrumentation setups requiring robust thermal management.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack PE7385 series of fixed coaxial attenuators. The series includes variants with different attenuation values such as 10 dB, 20 dB, and 40 dB, all sharing similar N-Type connector interfaces and frequency ratings up to 3 GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Pasternack models from the same series with matching connector types and frequency ranges, such as PE7385-10, PE7385-20, or PE7385-40, provided the specific attenuation requirement differs.
