Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the E-TA3216 1DB N8 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-1DBN8 from Susumu meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete E-TA3216 1DB N8.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PBV1632S-1DBN8 from Susumu is the qualified substitute for the obsolete E-TA3216 1DB N8. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical specifications across attenuation, frequency range, impedance, and power rating. The Susumu part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. Both components feature MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements. Selection of the PBV1632S-1DBN8 provides functional continuity for applications previously designed with the Nidec component.
