Given a Weil-Deligne representation of the Weil group of an $$\ell $$ -adic number field with coefficients in a domain $$\mathscr {O}$$ , we show that its pure specializations have the same conductor. More generally, we prove that the conductors of a collection of pure representations are equal if they lift to Weil-Deligne representations over domains containing $$\mathscr {O}$$ and the traces of these lifts are parametrized by a pseudorepresentation over $$\mathscr {O}$$ .
