Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the E-TA3216 4DB N6 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

• Attenuation Value: Must be 4dB
• Frequency Range: Must cover 0 Hz ~ 3 GHz minimum
• Impedance: Must be 50 Ohms
• Power Rating: Must be 100mW or greater
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) surface-mount
• RoHS Compliance: Must meet ROHS3 standard
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 or equivalent

The PBV1632S-4DBN6 from Susumu meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison
