E-TA2012 T 2DB N6 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 2DB N6 is a 2dB 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 a power rating of 63mW in a compact 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount package. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing production support and design continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the E-TA2012 T 2DB N6 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Qualifying Parameters for Substitution:

  • Attenuation Value: 2dB (exact match required)
  • Frequency Range: 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz (exact match required)
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms (exact match required)
  • Power Rating: 63mW (exact match required)
  • Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
  • RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained)

All three substitute parts from Susumu (PXV1220S series) meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents. These components are currently in active production status, providing long-term availability for design continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The three Susumu PXV1220S series components (PXV1220S-2DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-2DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-2DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the obsolete E-TA2012 T 2DB N6. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active production status.

Selection among the three Susumu variants should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. All three parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for current manufacturing environments. The Tape & Reel packaging format of the substitute parts aligns with modern automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S series attenuators directly replace the E-TA2012 T 2DB N6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All three PXV1220S variants (N1, N2, N3) are parametric equivalents with identical attenuation value (2dB), frequency range (0 Hz ~ 3 GHz), impedance (50 Ohms), power rating (63mW), and package format (0805 metric). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between PXV1220S-2DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-2DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-2DBN3-T02?

A: All three parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The suffix designations (N1, N2, N3) represent different manufacturing lots or tape configurations within the Susumu PxV series. Selection should be based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly. The original E-TA2012 T 2DB N6 packaging format was not specified in available documentation.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All PXV1220S variants maintain ROHS3 compliance and are REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original component.

Q: What inventory levels are available for the substitute parts?

A: Current stock levels are: PXV1220S-2DBN1-T02 (874 pcs), PXV1220S-2DBN2-T02 (868 pcs), and PXV1220S-2DBN3-T02 (740 pcs) of new original components.
