PEW42S001-4

Overview

The Pasternack PEW42S001-4 is a WR-42 straight waveguide section with a 4-inch length. It operates within the frequency range of 17.6 GHz to 26.7 GHz. The component features a UG square cover and grooved flange configuration. This signal conditioning device is designed for high-frequency microwave applications requiring precise waveguide transmission.

Feature Summary

• Straight waveguide geometry for linear signal path
• UG square cover and grooved flange interface
• WR-42 standard dimensional compliance

Applications

• Microwave test and measurement systems
• Radar subsystem interconnects
• Satellite communication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific flange type and surface finish against system requirements. Confirm that the WR-42 dimensions align with mating components. Check for any special coating or material specifications required for the operating environment. Ensure compatibility with UG square cover standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-length, straight waveguide path is needed in the K-band. Consider the 4-inch length for spacing requirements. Evaluate the mechanical robustness of the grooved flange for repeated connection cycles. Assess thermal management needs for the operating frequency range.

Part Context
