E-TA2012 T 1DB N6 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 1DB N6 is a 1dB RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, designed for applications requiring signal attenuation across the 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range. This component operates at 50 ohms impedance with 63mW power handling capability in a compact 0805 (2012 Metric) surface-mount package. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of parametrically equivalent substitutes essential for ongoing production support and design continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the E-TA2012 T 1DB N6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Attenuation Value: 1dB (exact match required)
  • Frequency Range: 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz (full coverage required)
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms (exact match required)
  • Power Rating: 63mW (minimum requirement)
  • Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (physical and electrical compatibility)
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

All three substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The three Susumu PxV series attenuators (PXV1220S-1DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-1DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-1DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the obsolete E-TA2012 T 1DB N6. All substitute parts maintain active product status with Susumu, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Each substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The Tape & Reel packaging format of the substitute parts is standard for production environments and provides improved handling efficiency compared to alternative packaging methods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu PxV series attenuators be used as direct replacements for the E-TA2012 T 1DB N6?

A: Yes. All three Susumu models (PXV1220S-1DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-1DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-1DBN3-T02) are parametric equivalents. They match the attenuation value, frequency range, impedance, power rating, package type, and compliance certifications of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the three Susumu substitute part numbers?

A: The three part numbers differ only in their internal design variants (indicated by the N1, N2, and N3 designations). All three maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between them depends on design preference and availability.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part packaging type was not specified in the original documentation. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes and provides consistent handling characteristics.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three Susumu substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.

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

A: PXV1220S-1DBN1-T02 has 1045 pcs in stock, PXV1220S-1DBN2-T02 has 1038 pcs in stock, and PXV1220S-1DBN3-T02 has 1004 pcs in stock, all listed as new original inventory.
