PE8727

Overview

The Pasternack PE8727 is a five-section low-pass RF filter designed for signal conditioning applications. It features SMA female connectors and operates within a frequency range from DC to 700 MHz. The component has a maximum power handling capacity of 10 Watts and maintains a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.5. This filter provides effective attenuation above the cutoff frequency while preserving signal integrity in the passband.

Feature Summary

• Five-section low-pass filter design for enhanced out-of-band rejection
• SMA female connectors for standard coaxial integration
• Operates from DC up to 700 MHz with specified VSWR

Applications

• RF signal conditioning
• Harmonic suppression
• Interference filtering in communication systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and impedance match required for your system before ordering. Confirm that the 10 Watt power rating and 700 MHz cutoff frequency align with your operational requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA interfaces to avoid adapter usage which may impact performance.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a sharp cutoff near 700 MHz is needed with moderate power handling. Compare against the PE8726 if a lower 400 MHz cutoff is sufficient, as it offers similar construction. Consider the five-section architecture for better stopband performance compared to simpler two or three-section alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's RF filter series, specifically focusing on low-pass configurations. It is part of a lineup that includes various bandpass and low-pass options with different section counts and frequency ranges, all utilizing SMA connectors for versatility in test and measurement environments.

Replacement Considerations

The PE8726 serves as a direct alternative with identical physical construction but a reduced 400 MHz cutoff frequency. Verify if the lower bandwidth meets your application needs before substituting.
