• Outer DC Block
• Operates from 10 MHz to 18 GHz
• Good Insertion Loss of 0.5 dB Max

Pasternack’s PE8211 is an outer DC block with SMA connectors. It features a blocking capacitor on the outer conductor and operates from 10 MHz to 18 GHz. The SMA DC block offers good insertion loss of 0.5 dB and has a maximum operating voltage of 200 V DC. DC blocks are commonly used to filter out unwanted DC signals while allowing AC drive signals to pass through. They can help improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), eliminate ground loops, and provide isolation in your test setup.
