PE8283

Overview

The PE8283 is an adjustable phase trimmer manufactured by Pasternack, designed for RF applications spanning from DC to 18 GHz. It features SMA male connectors and utilizes RG402 coaxial cable. The unit provides an adjustable phase shift of 15 degrees per GHz. The housing is constructed from brass with a copper-tin-zinc alloy plating. The physical length of the component is 2.008 inches.

Feature Summary

• Adjustable phase trimming capability across a wide frequency range
• SMA male connector interface for standard integration
• Durable brass housing with copper-tin-zinc alloy plating

Applications

• Radar systems requiring precise phase alignment
• RF test and measurement equipment calibration
• Communication system phase adjustment modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE8283 to confirm current manufacturing status and detailed electrical tolerances. Ensure compatibility with RG402 cable specifications if custom assembly is required. Confirm that the SMA male connector type matches the receiving equipment interface requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select the PE8283 when a broad frequency coverage from DC to 18 GHz is necessary for phase adjustment tasks. The 15 degrees per GHz adjustability allows for fine-tuning in high-frequency applications. Consider the physical dimensions and brass construction for thermal and mechanical stability in fixed installations.
