Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ATS-2M2F-06DB5W is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Attenuation Value: 6dB
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Package Type: N-Type In-Line Module
• Power Rating: 5W minimum

Acceptable Parameter Variance:

• Frequency Range: The substitute part may exceed the original frequency range specification, provided it covers the minimum 0 Hz ~ 6 GHz requirement

The substitute part 53AS105-K06N3 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and extends the frequency range capability to 10 GHz, providing broader operational bandwidth while maintaining electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 53AS105-K06N3 manufactured by Rosenberger is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete ATS-2M2F-06DB5W. Both components share identical attenuation, power rating, impedance, and package configuration specifications.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 53AS105-K06N3 is currently in active production, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity.
• Extended Frequency Range: The 10 GHz upper frequency limit provides operational capability beyond the original 6 GHz specification, supporting broader application requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0090) classifications, maintaining regulatory consistency.
• RoHS Compliance: The substitute part is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and material restriction standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 53AS105-K06N3 be used as a direct replacement for the ATS-2M2F-06DB5W?

A: Yes. Both components provide 6dB attenuation at 50 Ohms impedance with 5W power handling in N-Type in-line module configuration. The substitute part is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications operating within the original 0 Hz to 6 GHz frequency range.

Q: What is the significance of the extended frequency range in the substitute part?

A: The 53AS105-K06N3 operates to 10 GHz, compared to the original 6 GHz specification. This extended range does not affect compatibility with systems designed for 6 GHz operation. The component will function identically within the original frequency band while providing capability for higher-frequency applications if required.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute part is RoHS compliant, which represents an improvement in environmental and material standards compliance.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The 53AS105-K06N3 is currently in active production with 819 pieces available in new original stock, compared to the obsolete status of the ATS-2M2F-06DB5W with 775 pieces remaining in inventory.

Q: Are there any mechanical or dimensional differences between the N-Type in-line modules?

A: Both components utilize N-Type in-line module packaging. Mechanical compatibility is ensured by the identical package type specification. Physical dimensions and connector interfaces conform to N-Type connector standards for both parts.
