PE7395-1

Overview

The Pasternack PE7395-1 is a fixed attenuator featuring 2.92mm male connectors on both input and output sides. It provides a nominal attenuation of 1 dB with a tolerance of ±0.8 dB across a frequency range of DC to 40 GHz. The device supports a maximum continuous wave power of 2 Watts and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of less than 1.4:1.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise signal attenuation using a fixed 1 dB design
• Operates effectively within a wide frequency spectrum from DC up to 40 GHz
• Ensures signal integrity through low VSWR performance below 1.4:1

Applications

• High-frequency test and measurement setups requiring precise signal reduction
• Microwave circuitry interfacing between components with differing power levels
• RF system calibration and characterization environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and interface type matches your system requirements before procurement. Confirm that the maximum power handling capacity of 2 Watts aligns with your operational limits. Ensure the frequency range up to 40 GHz covers your intended application bandwidth. Check for any specific mounting or environmental constraints relevant to your deployment scenario.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-frequency attenuator is needed for signals up to 40 GHz. The 2.92mm interface ensures compatibility with standard microwave equipment. Consider the 1 dB attenuation value relative to your system's gain structure. Verify that the 2 Watt power rating is sufficient for your continuous wave operations without thermal issues.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's line of fixed attenuators designed for high-performance RF applications. It utilizes the robust 2.92mm connector interface, which offers performance comparable to 3.5mm and 2.4mm types while maintaining mechanical durability. The series is engineered for stability in demanding microwave environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 1 dB fixed attenuators with 2.92mm male-to-male interfaces. Ensure replacement parts support the same 40 GHz frequency range and 2 Watt power rating. Verify VSWR specifications remain below 1.4:1 to maintain signal quality. Cross-reference connector dimensions for mechanical fit.
