E-TA2012 T 6DB N1 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 6DB N1 is a 6dB 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 63mW power handling capability in a compact 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount package.

The E-TA2012 T 6DB N1 is classified as obsolete. Equivalent substitute parts are available from Susumu in their active PxV series, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with current manufacturing support and improved supply chain availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E-TA2012 T 6DB N1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Attenuation Value: 6dB (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 without exception. Substitution is based solely on parametric equivalence; no functional or performance testing is required beyond verification of these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the E-TA2012 T 6DB N1. Selection among these three options should be based on supply chain availability and lead time requirements.

The Susumu parts carry active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, providing regulatory assurance for current and future applications. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 6DB N1?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical electrical specifications (6dB attenuation, 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz frequency range, 50 ohms impedance, 63mW power rating) and mechanical specifications (0805 package, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1). They are direct substitutes without functional or performance limitations.

Q: Why is the E-TA2012 T 6DB N1 marked as obsolete?

A: Nidec Components Corporation has discontinued this part number. The Susumu PxV series equivalents are actively manufactured and represent the current market standard for this specification class.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The E-TA2012 T 6DB N1 packaging format is not specified in available documentation. All Susumu substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical inventory availability?

A: No. Current inventory levels vary: PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02 (619 pcs), PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02 (895 pcs), and PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02 (1124 pcs). Selection should account for project timeline and volume requirements.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: All parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and EAR99 export classification. No compliance-based differentiation exists between the main part and substitutes.
