RF Attenuator 6810.17.A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Huber+Suhner 6810.17.A is an RF attenuator module designed for broadband applications across the 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz frequency range. This in-line N-type connector module provides 10 dB attenuation with 1 watt power handling capability at 50 ohm impedance. The component is classified as Active product status with REACH Unaffected compliance. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or procurement requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the 6810.17.A is based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Attenuation Value: 10 dB (exact match required)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 1 W (exact match required)
• Package Type: N-Type In-Line Module (exact match required)
• Connector Interface: N-Type (exact match required)

Secondary Consideration:

• Frequency Range: The main part operates 0 Hz ~ 12.4 GHz. Substitute parts with reduced frequency range remain functionally equivalent for applications operating within the substitute's specified bandwidth.

The Radiall USA R412710124 meets all primary matching criteria with identical attenuation, impedance, power rating, and package configuration. The frequency range of 0 Hz ~ 6 GHz represents a subset of the main part's capability; however, this does not disqualify it as a substitute for applications requiring operation only within the 6 GHz upper limit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (6810.17.A): The Huber+Suhner 6810.17.A is the specified component with full frequency coverage to 12.4 GHz and REACH Unaffected status. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring the complete 0 Hz to 12.4 GHz operational bandwidth.

Substitute Selection (R412710124): The Radiall USA R412710124 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for applications with frequency requirements limited to 6 GHz or below. This substitute is suitable for procurement when the main part is unavailable. The R412710124 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Affected status, which may be relevant for specific regulatory or supply chain requirements.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain Active product status. The difference in REACH classification (Unaffected versus Affected) should be evaluated against end-use application requirements and regional regulatory frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the R412710124 be used in place of the 6810.17.A in all applications?

A: The R412710124 is electrically and mechanically equivalent for applications operating at frequencies up to 6 GHz. Applications requiring operation above 6 GHz must use the 6810.17.A to ensure specified performance across the full 12.4 GHz bandwidth.

Q: Are the N-type connectors on both parts identical?

A: Both the 6810.17.A and R412710124 use N-type in-line module connectors. The connector interface is mechanically and electrically equivalent between the two parts.

Q: What is the significance of the REACH status difference?

A: The 6810.17.A is REACH Unaffected, while the R412710124 is REACH Affected. This distinction relates to regulatory substance compliance. Applications subject to REACH regulations should verify that the REACH Affected status of the R412710124 is acceptable for the intended end-use.

Q: Do both parts have the same power handling capability?

A: Yes. Both the 6810.17.A and R412710124 are rated for 1 watt power handling at 50 ohm impedance.

Q: Is the attenuation value identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts provide 10 dB attenuation across their respective frequency ranges.

Q: What is the primary limitation of using the R412710124 as a substitute?

A: The R412710124 frequency range extends only to 6 GHz, compared to the 6810.17.A specification of 12.4 GHz. This substitution is valid only for applications with frequency requirements within the 6 GHz limit.
