PE8717

Overview

The PE8717 is a 5-section high-pass RF filter manufactured by Pasternack, designed for signal paths requiring 50 Ohm impedance. It features SMA female connectors and operates within a frequency range of 30 MHz to 300 MHz. The unit has a center frequency of 165 MHz and a bandwidth of 270 MHz. Maximum height is 0.598 inches (15.20 mm), with an insertion loss of 1 dB. It utilizes chassis mounting.

Feature Summary

• Five-section high-pass filter design
• SMA female connector interface
• Chassis mount configuration

Applications

• RF signal path filtering
• High-frequency communication systems
• Electronic test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE8717 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions prior to integration. Ensure that the SMA female connector type matches the mating hardware in the target assembly. Confirm chassis mounting requirements align with the physical constraints of the enclosure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pass response is required between 30 MHz and 300 MHz with SMA connectivity. The 5-section architecture provides steep attenuation characteristics above the cutoff. Consider the 1 dB insertion loss impact on system gain budgets. Verify that the chassis mount style fits the available panel space.

Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's RF filter portfolio, specifically high-pass designs. It differs from cable assemblies like the PE34171LF-18 by providing frequency-selective filtering rather than passive transmission. The SMA interface is standard for lower-power RF applications compared to larger connectors like Type N or 7/16 DIN.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are identified in the provided documentation. Evaluate other Pasternack high-pass filters with compatible SMA interfaces if availability is an issue.
