E-TA2012 10DB N1

Attenuators Overview

The E-TA2012 10DB N1 is a surface-mount RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 10 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The component operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and handles a maximum power dissipation of 63 mW. It utilizes an 0805 (2012 Metric) package format for compact circuit integration.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Fixed 10 dB attenuation value
• 50 Ohm nominal impedance
• Wideband operation up to 3 GHz
• Compact 0805 surface-mount footprint

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in communication systems
• Impedance matching networks
• Test and measurement equipment
• Wireless infrastructure components

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N1' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and tolerance specifications. Ensure the 0805 package dimensions align with your PCB land pattern. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your assembly process. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect performance or availability.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 10 dB reduction is needed in a 50-ohm system. The 63 mW power rating suits low-power RF applications. The 0805 size offers space efficiency compared to larger packages. Consider thermal management requirements given the low power handling capability.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the E-TA2012 series of thin-film chip attenuators from Nidec Components. The series offers various attenuation values in a standardized 0805 package, allowing designers to choose specific dB ratings while maintaining consistent physical dimensions and mounting characteristics across different circuit designs.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other E-TA2012 variants with identical 10 dB attenuation and 50 Ohm impedance, such as E-TA2012 10DB N4 or E-TA2012 10DB N7, provided the suffix differences do not alter critical electrical parameters or termination styles.
