E-TA2012 T 5DB N6 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 5DB N6 is an RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, designed for signal attenuation applications in the 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range. This component operates at 50 Ohms impedance with 5dB attenuation and 63mW power handling capability in a compact 0805 (2012 Metric) surface-mount package. The product is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA2012 T 5DB N6 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

• Attenuation Value: 5dB (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 substitute parts listed below meet these parameters identically. The primary distinction among substitutes is manufacturer identity and product status. Susumu manufactures all qualified substitutes, with all substitute variants maintaining active product status, unlike the obsolete main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the E-TA2012 T 5DB N6. Selection among these substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: All substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support, unlike the obsolete main part.

Compliance Certifications: All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Inventory Availability: PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02 offers the highest current inventory level at 1245 pieces, followed by PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02 at 1050 pieces and PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02 at 779 pieces.

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 5DB N6?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 5dB attenuation, 0 Hz to 3 GHz frequency range, 50 Ohm impedance, 63mW power rating, and 0805 (2012 Metric) package. They are direct substitutes for the obsolete Nidec component.

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

A: The three Susumu parts (PXV1220S-5DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-5DBN3-T02) are parametrically identical. Differences exist only in manufacturer internal designations and current inventory levels. Selection can be based on availability and procurement lead times.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.

Q: What packaging format do the substitute parts use?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, compatible with standard automated surface-mount assembly equipment.

Q: Why is the original E-TA2012 T 5DB N6 listed as obsolete?

A: The E-TA2012 T 5DB N6 has been discontinued by Nidec Components Corporation. The Susumu PxV series substitutes provide equivalent functionality with active product status and ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Can I mix inventory from different substitute part numbers in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since all three Susumu parts are parametrically identical with matching electrical and mechanical specifications, they can be used interchangeably within the same design and assembly process.
