Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E-TA3216 1DB N6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Attenuation Value: Must be 1dB
• Frequency Range: Must cover 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz minimum
• Impedance: Must be 50 Ohms
• Power Rating: Must be 100mW or greater
• Package / Case: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• RoHS Compliance: Must meet ROHS3 standard

The substitute part PBV1632S-1DBN6 from Susumu meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PBV1632S-1DBN6 be used as a direct replacement for the E-TA3216 1DB N6?

A: Yes. Both components share identical attenuation value (1dB), frequency range (0 Hz ~ 3 GHz), impedance (50 Ohms), power rating (100mW), and package type (1206 / 3216 Metric). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The E-TA3216 1DB N6 is classified as obsolete. The PBV1632S-1DBN6 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: Does package compatibility require any PCB layout modifications?

A: No. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package, requiring no changes to existing PCB designs or assembly processes.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Attenuation value, frequency range, impedance, power rating, package type, and RoHS compliance status must all match the original specification.
