Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the E-TA2012 6DB N2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Attenuation Value: 6dB (exact match required)
• Frequency Range: 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz (minimum coverage required)
• Impedance: 50 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 63mW (minimum rating required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (equivalent or better required)

The substitute part PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02 from Susumu meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete E-TA2012 6DB N2.
