Voltage Variable PIN Diode Attenuator, 0 to 30 dB, DC to
20 GHz, Rated to 18 dBm, SMA, Solder Pin Control

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PE70A1017

The PE70A10017 is a 30 dB Pin Diode Voltage Variable Attenuator with an operating frequency range from 0 GHz to 20 GHz.
The RF Input/Output Connectors are SMA Female. The attenuator uses a dual +/- 5 VDC supply. The control is thru a voltage
control that is used to select the attenuation state and a single 0 to -3 VDC bias that allows the operation at frequencies down
to DC. The drop-in package is hermetically sealed with field replaceable SMA connectors and has an operating temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C. And for added confidence, this rugged package assembly is designed to meet MIL-STD-883 test
conditions for Hermeticity and Temperature Cycle.

Features
• Voltage Variable control of 30 dB Attenuator • Insertion Loss 3.6 dB Typ
