E-TA2012 T 6DB N7 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 6DB N7 is a 6dB RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, designed for signal attenuation in RF circuits operating from DC to 3 GHz. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The part is packaged in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface-mount format with 50-ohm impedance and 63mW power handling capability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA2012 T 6DB N7 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Substitution Criteria:

• 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 (maintained)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (maintained)

All three substitute parts from Susumu meet these criteria and are classified as active products, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the E-TA2012 T 6DB N7. Selection among these substitutes should be based on:

Product Status: All substitute parts are classified as active products, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Compliance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Availability: PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02 offers the highest current inventory (1124 Pcs), followed by PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02 (895 Pcs) and PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02 (619 Pcs).

Packaging: All substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) 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 N7?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts meet identical electrical specifications (6dB attenuation, 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz frequency range, 50-ohm impedance, 63mW power rating) and mechanical requirements (0805 package). They are direct parametric equivalents.

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

A: The three part numbers (PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02) share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix variation (N1, N2, N3) reflects internal manufacturing or distribution designations but does not affect functional performance or compatibility.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, standard for automated PCB assembly. The original E-TA2012 T 6DB N7 packaging format was not specified in available documentation.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three Susumu substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Why is the original E-TA2012 T 6DB N7 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by Nidec Components Corporation. The active Susumu equivalents provide continued access to functionally identical 6dB RF attenuators with ongoing manufacturer support.
