6 Bit Relay Controlled Programmable Attenuator, 63 dB
Up to 1,000 MHz, 1 dB Steps, +12V, SMA Female

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PE70A8000

The PE70A8000 is a 6 Bit Relay Programmable Attenuator which operates over the frequency range of DC to 1000 MHz.
The 50 ohm design has an attenuation range that covers 0 to 63 dB in 1 dB steps. Attenuation steps are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and
32 dB. Insertion loss is 1.5 dB max with a maximum RF input power 0.5 Watt average and 100 Watts peak. Additional typical
performance includes switching speed of 6 milliseconds. The DC supply is +12 Vdc @ 15 mA per relay. The compact and
rugged package design supports SMA female RF input/output connectors and DC connector solder terminals. Operational
termperature is -20°C to +85°C.
