E-TA2012 T 7DB N5 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 7DB N5 is a 7dB 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 alternatives essential for ongoing production and design continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA2012 T 7DB N5 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following criteria:

• Attenuation Value: 7dB (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 electrical and mechanical parameters without deviation. The primary distinction between substitutes is manufacturer identity and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu substitute parts (PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02) are parametrically equivalent to the E-TA2012 T 7DB N5 and maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. Each substitute carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, meeting regulatory requirements for modern electronics applications.

Selection between the three Susumu alternatives should be based on availability and supply chain requirements, as all three parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The Susumu PxV series provides direct functional replacement with the advantage of active product lifecycle status, ensuring long-term component availability compared to the obsolete Nidec original.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 7DB N5?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametrically equivalent across attenuation value, frequency range, impedance, power rating, and package specification. They are direct substitutes for the obsolete Nidec component.

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

A: The three Susumu part numbers (PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02) are electrically and mechanically identical. Differences are limited to internal manufacturing lot or variant designation. All meet the same performance and compliance specifications.

Q: Are the Susumu substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and use the 0805 (2012 Metric) surface-mount package, matching the original E-TA2012 T 7DB N5 form factor.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three Susumu substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronics manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the original E-TA2012 T 7DB N5 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production by Nidec Components Corporation. The listed Susumu alternatives provide equivalent functionality with active product support and ongoing availability.
