E-TA2012 T 3DB N6 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 3DB N6 is an RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, designed for RF signal attenuation applications across the 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The part delivers 3dB attenuation with 50 Ohm impedance in a compact 0805 (2012 Metric) surface-mount package, rated for 63mW power dissipation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA2012 T 3DB N6 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Qualifying Parameters for Substitution:

• Attenuation Value: 3dB (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 (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All three substitute parts from Susumu meet these criteria and are classified as parametric equivalents. These parts are manufactured by Susumu under the PxV series and maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-3DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-3DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-3DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the E-TA2012 T 3DB N6. Selection among these substitutes should be based on:

Product Status: The Susumu parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and supply availability, unlike the obsolete Nidec part.

Compliance Certifications: All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Packaging Configuration: All substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Inventory Availability: PXV1220S-3DBN3-T02 offers the highest current stock level at 1354 pieces, followed by PXV1220S-3DBN1-T02 at 973 pieces and PXV1220S-3DBN2-T02 at 740 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-3DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-3DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-3DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 3DB N6?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical electrical specifications (3dB attenuation, 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz frequency range, 50 Ohm impedance, 63mW power rating) and mechanical requirements (0805 package, MSL 1). They are direct substitutes for the obsolete Nidec part.

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

A: The three part numbers (PXV1220S-3DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-3DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-3DBN3-T02) represent variants within the Susumu PxV series. All maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences may relate to internal manufacturing processes or tolerance specifications not detailed in the provided parameters.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The Susumu substitutes provide enhanced compliance documentation. While the Nidec part lists ROHS3 compliance, the Susumu parts additionally specify REACH Unaffected status, providing broader regulatory coverage for international applications.

Q: What packaging format is used for the substitute parts?

A: All three Susumu substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated surface-mount assembly. The original Nidec part packaging format was not specified in the available data.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Any of the three Susumu parts are suitable for new designs. Selection may be based on inventory availability, with PXV1220S-3DBN3-T02 currently offering the highest stock level. All parts carry active product status and equivalent long-term availability.
