Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7447-20 to confirm current manufacturing status and lead times. Ensure that the required DC bias parameters (voltage and current limits) align with your application's electrical requirements before procurement. Confirm connector gender and cable assembly specifications if applicable.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select the PE7447-20 when a fixed 20 dB attenuation is required within the 100 MHz to 3 GHz bandwidth. This model is appropriate for applications necessitating simultaneous DC bias passage through the attenuator. Consider the 2 Watt power rating and SMA interface compatibility when integrating into existing RF infrastructure.

Attenuators Part Context
