PE7390-2

Overview

The Pasternack PE7390-2 is a fixed coaxial attenuator designed for radio frequency applications up to 3 GHz. It features N male to N female connectors and an aluminum body construction. The component provides a precise attenuation value of 2 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. It is rated to handle a maximum power input of 5 Watts within its specified frequency range, ensuring stable performance in RF signal processing environments.

Feature Summary

• Fixed attenuation design providing consistent signal reduction
• Robust aluminum body construction for durability
• N-type connector interface for standard RF integration

Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in test and measurement equipment
• Impedance matching in microwave communication systems
• Signal conditioning in wireless infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Pasternack documentation to confirm the 2 dB attenuation value and 5W power rating. Ensure connector gender matches system requirements (N Male to N Female). Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 2 dB reduction is required at frequencies up to 3 GHz. Consider the 50 Ohm impedance and 5 Watt power handling capacity relative to system specifications. Verify that N-type connectors are compatible with existing cabling and hardware interfaces.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack PE7390 series of fixed attenuators. The series includes variants with different attenuation values such as 1 dB, 3 dB, and 10 dB, all sharing similar N-type connector configurations and frequency ratings up to 3 GHz.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other Pasternack models from the same series with identical connector types and frequency ranges but different attenuation values if adjustable reduction is acceptable.
