Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of RF attenuator modules is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Attenuation value must equal 6 dB
• Frequency range must cover 0 Hz ~ 18 GHz minimum
• Power handling must be rated at 2 W or greater
• Impedance must be 50 Ohms

Mechanical Parameters:

• Connector configuration must be N-Type In-Line Module
• Package form factor must be compatible with in-line mounting

Compliance & Status:

• Product status must be Active
• REACH compliance status must be equivalent or compliant

The substitute part ATT-0219-06-NNN-02 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria, maintaining identical attenuation, frequency range, power rating, impedance, and connector type specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the primary part 6806.17.B and the substitute ATT-0219-06-NNN-02 are classified as Active products with REACH Unaffected status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory compliance.
