E-TA2012 T 7DB N8 RF Attenuator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The E-TA2012 T 7DB N8 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 ohms impedance with a power rating of 63mW in a compact 0805 (2012 metric) surface-mount package. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA2012 T 7DB N8 are determined by strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

• 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)

All three substitute parts listed below meet these criteria and are manufactured by Susumu under the PxV series. These parts are currently in active production status, providing reliable alternatives to the obsolete Nidec component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three Susumu PxV series substitutes (PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02) are direct parametric equivalents to the E-TA2012 T 7DB N8. Selection among these three active alternatives should be based on availability and supply chain requirements:

• PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02: 1485 pcs in stock
• PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02: 630 pcs in stock
• PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02: 751 pcs in stock

All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental and safety standards. The transition from the obsolete Nidec component to any of these active Susumu alternatives presents no electrical or mechanical compatibility issues.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXV1220S-7DBN1-T02, PXV1220S-7DBN2-T02, and PXV1220S-7DBN3-T02 be used interchangeably with E-TA2012 T 7DB N8?

A: Yes. All three Susumu parts are parametric equivalents meeting identical specifications for attenuation value, frequency range, impedance, power rating, package type, and compliance standards.

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

A: The three PxV series parts are parametrically identical. Differences exist only in manufacturing lot designation (N1, N2, N3) and current inventory levels. Selection can be based on availability.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original E-TA2012 T 7DB N8 packaging format is not specified in available data. The Susumu substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume surface-mount component distribution.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching or exceeding the compliance profile of the original component.

Q: Why is the original E-TA2012 T 7DB N8 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. The active Susumu alternatives provide equivalent functionality for new designs and production continuity.
