PE87FL1016

Overview

The Pasternack PE87FL1016 is an 11-section low-pass filter designed for RF signal conditioning. It operates from DC to 9.5 GHz and features SMA female connectors with a 50 Ohm impedance. The unit supports a maximum power handling of 6 Watts and exhibits a 1.5 dB insertion loss within the passband. Constructed as an inline module, it utilizes bulk packaging and weighs approximately 58 grams. This component serves as a frequency-selective element in microwave applications requiring attenuation above the cutoff frequency.

Feature Summary

• Provides steep roll-off characteristics through an 11-section design architecture
• Ensures reliable connectivity via standard SMA female interfaces
• Maintains signal integrity with low insertion loss in the operating band

Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Microwave communication systems
• Signal conditioning modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender and frequency range against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 6 Watt power rating aligns with operational limits. Ensure SMA interface compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a sharp cutoff below 9.5 GHz is required. The 11-section structure offers superior harmonic suppression compared to lower-order filters. Consider the physical dimensions and weight for integration into constrained enclosures. Verify that the SMA interface matches the mating components in the assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Pasternack RF Coaxial Filters series. It is categorized under signal conditioning products specifically designed for bandpass or low-pass filtering functions. The manufacturer produces a wide range of microwave parts including attenuators and adapters within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Evaluate alternative Pasternack low-pass filters only if they match the 11-section configuration and 9.5 GHz cutoff specification exactly.
