E-TA2012 T 5DB N3 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 5DB N3 is a 5dB 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 obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing production support, maintenance, and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the E-TA2012 T 5DB N3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: attenuation value (5dB), frequency range (0 Hz ~ 3 GHz), impedance (50 Ohms), power rating (63mW), and package type (0805 2012 Metric). All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit redesign or performance degradation. The substitute parts are manufactured by Susumu under the PxV series designation and are available in active production status with Tape & Reel packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E-TA2012 T 5DB N3 has reached obsolete status. Direct substitutes are available from Susumu in the PxV series: PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02. All three substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and package configuration. All parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Susumu substitute parts are in active production with higher inventory availability than the original component. Selection among the three Susumu variants should be based on procurement lead times and inventory requirements, as all three are parametrically equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 5DB N3?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametrically equivalent to the original component across all critical specifications: 5dB attenuation, 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range, 50 ohm impedance, 63mW power rating, and 0805 package. They are direct functional replacements.

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

A: The three Susumu part numbers (PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02) are parametrically identical. Differences in the part number designations reflect internal Susumu manufacturing or qualification variants but do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging in the 0805 (2012 Metric) form factor, compatible with standard surface-mount assembly equipment.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original component specifications.
