E-TA2012 T 5DB N7 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 5DB N7 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 Ohm 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 active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the E-TA2012 T 5DB N7 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 identified substitute parts from Susumu maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional replacement. The substitutes are differentiated by internal design variants (N1, N2, N3 designations) and are all classified as active products with current manufacturing status and full inventory availability.

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 obsolete E-TA2012 T 5DB N7. Selection among the three variants should be based on inventory availability and internal design requirements specific to your application. All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment. The active product status of all Susumu alternatives provides long-term supply chain stability compared to the obsolete Nidec component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu PXV1220S series parts directly replace the E-TA2012 T 5DB N7?

A: Yes. All three Susumu variants (N1, N2, N3) are parametric equivalents with identical attenuation (5dB), frequency range (0 Hz ~ 3 GHz), impedance (50 Ohms), power rating (63mW), and package type (0805 2012 Metric). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the N1, N2, and N3 variants?

A: The N1, N2, and N3 designations represent internal design variants within the Susumu PxV series. All three maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this 5dB attenuator application. Selection should be based on availability and internal design requirements.

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

A: Yes. All Susumu substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, compatible with automated assembly processes. The 0805 (2012 Metric) package footprint is identical across all parts.

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

A: All Susumu substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the original E-TA2012 T 5DB N7 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production by Nidec Components Corporation. The Susumu PXV1220S series provides active, currently manufactured alternatives with identical performance specifications.
