PE8715

Overview

The PE8715 is a five-section high-pass RF filter module manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, with a cutoff frequency of 1.5 GHz. The component features SMA female connectors and maintains a 50 Ohm impedance. Designed for signal conditioning, it provides attenuation below the cutoff frequency while allowing higher frequencies to pass with minimal insertion loss.

Feature Summary

• Five-section high-pass filter design for effective low-frequency rejection
• SMA female connectors for standard RF interconnection
• 50 Ohm impedance matching for system integration

Applications

• RF signal conditioning in communication systems
• Harmonic suppression in transmitter chains
• Interference filtering in receiver front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise insertion loss and VSWR values at your operating frequency. Confirm connector gender and cable assembly requirements if integrating into a larger harness. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the module dimensions during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sharp cutoff above 1.5 GHz is required. Compare insertion loss specifications against other high-pass filters in the 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz range. Consider the physical size and mounting style relative to your enclosure constraints. Evaluate the need for SMA connectors versus other interface types based on your existing infrastructure.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's RF filter series, specifically designed for signal conditioning applications. It complements their band-pass and low-pass filter offerings by providing high-frequency pass characteristics. The module format simplifies integration into test equipment and communication modules requiring standardized RF interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Review Pasternack's internal cross-reference guides or contact technical support for equivalent performance alternatives. Ensure any replacement matches the 1.5 GHz cutoff, 50 Ohm impedance, and SMA connector configuration.
