E-TA2012 T 6DB N3 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 6DB N3 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 Ohm impedance with 63mW power handling capability in a compact 0805 (2012 Metric) surface-mount package. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E-TA2012 T 6DB N3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Attenuation Value: Must be 6dB
• Frequency Range: Must cover 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz
• Impedance: Must be 50 Ohms
• Power Rating: Must be 63mW minimum
• Package / Case: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric)
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct manufacturer equivalents or parametric equivalents from Susumu, maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02) are active production components with full parametric equivalence to the obsolete E-TA2012 T 6DB N3. Each maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factor, and regulatory compliance status. Selection among these three active alternatives should be based on procurement availability and lead time requirements, as all three are functionally interchangeable within the specified application parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 6DB N3?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical specifications for attenuation value, frequency range, impedance, power rating, and package form factor. They are direct substitutes for the obsolete Nidec component.

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

A: The three part numbers differ only in moisture sensitivity level designation (N3, N2, N1 suffixes) but all maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

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

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

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. All three Susumu substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, matching the compliance status of the original E-TA2012 T 6DB N3.
