PE7470-2

Attenuators Overview

The PE7470-2 is a fixed attenuator from Pasternack's RF series, designed for interconnect applications. It features an SMP male to SMP female configuration with a stainless steel body. The component provides a nominal attenuation of 2 dB and operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 18 GHz. It is rated for a maximum power handling of 1 Watt and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. The unit weighs approximately 2.268 grams and is supplied in bulk packaging.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• SMP male to SMP female connector interface for direct inline integration
• Stainless steel construction ensuring durability and shielding
• Fixed 2 dB attenuation value for precise signal level control

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal chain attenuation up to 18 GHz
• Test and measurement equipment signal conditioning
• Telecommunications system component integration

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE7470-2 to confirm current RoHS compliance status and exact physical dimensions. Ensure that the required operating frequency and power levels align with the 18 GHz and 1 Watt ratings respectively before finalizing procurement decisions.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, fixed 2 dB loss is required between SMP connectors. Consider the 18 GHz upper frequency limit and 1 Watt power rating against system requirements. The stainless steel body offers robust mechanical stability compared to lighter materials.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the PE7470 series of fixed attenuators by Pasternack. Variants such as PE7470-3 and PE7470-9 offer different attenuation values while maintaining the same SMP interface and general specifications. The series is designed for consistent performance across various RF frequencies.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other PE7470 series variants like PE7470-1 or PE7470-5 if different attenuation values are acceptable. Cross-brand replacements require matching the SMP interface, 50 Ohm impedance, and 18 GHz frequency range.
