Description  
Pasternack carries a wide range of fixed attenuators with a broad selection of attenuation levels, frequency ranges, and power  
dissipation ranges. RF microwave attenuators (also known as RF pads) lower the amplitude of a signal (attenuate) a known  
amount and can be used in a wide variety of applications. These attenuator pads are used when a signal needs to be reduced  
to protect measurement equipment or other circuitry, to extend the range of power meters and amplifiers, and to impedance  
match circuits by reducing the VSWR seen by adjacent components. RF attenuators can prevent signal overload in amplifiers,  
receivers and detectors, adjusting the signal level to a range that is optimal.  
Few RF components are as commonly used as fixed coaxial attenuators, and Pasternack carries one of the largest in-stock  
varieties and ships them same day. The 6 dB Fixed Attenuator PE7403-6 is rated to 1 Watt and operates from DC to 65 GHz.  
The versatile coaxial package uses 1.85mm male to 1.85mm female connectors and is also REACH and RoHS compliant.
