PE7390-15

Overview

The PE7390-15 is a fixed coaxial attenuator manufactured by Pasternack. It provides a nominal attenuation of 15 dB with a power rating of 5 Watts and operates up to 3 GHz. The device features Type N connectors, specifically an N Male input and an N Female output. Constructed from aluminum with a black heatsink finish, it ensures thermal stability during operation.

Feature Summary

• Fixed 15 dB attenuation value
• Aluminum heatsink body for thermal management
• Type N male-to-female interface configuration

Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test setups
• Impedance matching in low-frequency circuits
• Protection of sensitive RF measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender orientation (Male to Female) matches the system requirements. Confirm the 5 Watt power handling capability is sufficient for the intended application frequency range up to 3 GHz. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 15 dB loss is required at frequencies below 3 GHz. Ensure the system impedance is 50 Ohms to match the attenuator's design. Consider the physical size of the aluminum heatsink for integration into the available space.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of low-frequency RF attenuators. It utilizes a robust aluminum construction designed for durability and heat dissipation. The Type N interface allows for compatibility with standard coaxial systems operating in the specified frequency band.
