PE80L2009

Overview

The Pasternack PE80L2009 is a high-power broadband limiter designed for RF applications spanning 0.5 GHz to 18 GHz. It features field-replaceable SMA connectors and chassis mounting. The device handles a peak power of 20W with an input power limit of 2W, ensuring signal integrity by restricting leakage power to +18 dBm.

Feature Summary

• High-power broadband limiting capability across a wide frequency range
• Field-replaceable SMA connector interface for maintenance flexibility
• Chassis mount design for stable integration into equipment racks

Applications

• RF signal protection in communication systems
• Broadband limiter circuits requiring high peak power handling
• Test and measurement setups needing input power regulation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SMA connector gender and polarity requirements against your system interface before ordering. Confirm that the 20W peak power rating aligns with your transient signal conditions. Ensure chassis mounting provisions are available in your enclosure design to accommodate the unit's physical dimensions and thermal requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when broadband limiting is required up to 18 GHz with high peak power tolerance. The field-replaceable connectors simplify long-term maintenance compared to fixed-connector alternatives. Consider the chassis mount form factor if panel integration is preferred over PCB mounting solutions.

Part Context

This limiter belongs to Pasternack's general-purpose RF components portfolio, which includes attenuators, adapters, and cables. It serves as a protective element within microwave and RF subsystems, complementing other passive and active components used in signal chain management and distribution networks.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available for direct replacement.
