PE7390-10

Overview

The Pasternack PE7390-10 is a fixed RF attenuator designed for in-line applications. It provides a nominal attenuation of 10 dB with Type N male and female connectors. The device operates within a frequency range of DC to 3 GHz. It features an aluminum body construction and is rated for a maximum power handling capacity of 5 Watts at the specified attenuation value.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation level
• Type N male to female interface
• Aluminum housing construction

Applications

• RF signal path power reduction
• Test and measurement setups
• Microwave circuit integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7390-10 to confirm mechanical dimensions and connector gender orientation. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the 5 Watt power rating or 3 GHz frequency limit. Check for any specific RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10 dB loss is required between DC and 3 GHz. The Type N interface suits standard coaxial systems. Consider the 5 Watt power limit for high-power applications. Aluminum bodies offer thermal stability compared to plastic alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's series of fixed attenuators. Similar models include PE7390-1 (1 dB) and PE7390-15 (15 dB). All share the same Type N connector style, aluminum body design, and 3 GHz frequency range, differing only in their attenuation values.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' 10 dB fixed attenuators with Type N connectors. Ensure replacement parts match the 5 Watt power rating and 3 GHz frequency specification. Verify that the physical footprint and connector torque requirements are compatible with existing assemblies.
