Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA2012 T 6DB N8 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution criteria are:

• 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 substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are manufactured by Susumu under the PxV series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The E-TA2012 T 6DB N8 is obsolete and no longer in active production. Direct replacement is required for new designs and ongoing production support. All three Susumu PxV series alternatives (PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02) are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. These parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. Selection among the three Susumu variants may be based on inventory availability and supply chain logistics, as all three are parametrically equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 6DB N8?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametrically equivalent to the Nidec component across attenuation value, frequency range, impedance, power rating, package type, and compliance certifications. They are direct functional replacements.

Q: What is the difference between the three Susumu substitute parts?

A: The three Susumu variants (PXV1220S-6DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-6DBN3-T02) are electrically and mechanically identical. Differences are limited to internal manufacturing or lot designations. Selection should be based on availability and supply chain requirements.

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

A: Yes. All 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: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original E-TA2012 T 6DB N8.
