PE8722

Overview

The Pasternack PE8722 is a five-section low-pass RF filter designed for signal conditioning applications. It features SMA female connectors and operates from DC to 225 MHz with a passband up to 225 MHz. The unit has a center frequency of 112.5 MHz and a bandwidth of 255 MHz. It utilizes a module form factor suitable for integration into various radio frequency systems requiring precise frequency filtering.

Feature Summary

• Five-section low-pass filter architecture
• SMA female connector interface
• Module form factor design

Applications

• Radio frequency signal conditioning
• Communication system filtering
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions before integration. Confirm connector gender and mating cycle requirements align with system specifications. Ensure environmental operating conditions match the component ratings. Cross-reference part numbers with official Pasternack documentation to avoid counterfeit or obsolete stock issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed low-pass characteristic is required up to 225 MHz. The SMA interface suits standard laboratory and industrial RF setups. Consider the module size for PCB or chassis mounting constraints. Evaluate insertion loss and rejection specs against system noise floor requirements.

Part Context

This model belongs to Pasternack's line of signal conditioning filters. It is distinct from their cable assemblies and adapters. The product series focuses on passive RF components for frequency management in electronic circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like the PE8726 if higher frequency operation up to 400 MHz is needed. Verify compatibility with existing SMA interfaces when considering alternative brands.
