E-TA2012 6DB N7

Attenuators Overview

The E-TA2012 6DB N7 is an RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. It provides a fixed attenuation value of 6 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms. The component utilizes an SMD surface-mount package, specifically the 0805 (2012 Metric) form factor. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3 GHz and has a power handling capacity of 63 mW.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 6 dB signal attenuation
• Designed for 50 ohm RF systems
• Operates up to 3 GHz frequency range
• Utilizes compact 0805 surface-mount packaging

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level adjustment in communication circuits
• Impedance matching networks in 50 ohm systems
• Signal conditioning in IF and RFID modules

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official Nidec documentation to ensure correct attenuation and impedance specifications. Confirm that the 0805 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure the 63 mW power rating is sufficient for your specific application load.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 6 dB reduction is needed in a 50 ohm environment. The 0805 size suits space-constrained designs. Verify the 3 GHz upper frequency limit meets your operational bandwidth. Consider the low power rating for high-signal environments. Compare against other series variants if different attenuation values are required.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the E-TA2012 series of thin-film chip attenuators from Nidec Components. These components are designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring stable attenuation across wide bandwidths. The series offers various attenuation values and package options to suit different circuit board layouts and signal processing needs.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other E-TA2012 series parts with identical 6 dB attenuation and 50 ohm impedance. Verify that any replacement maintains the 0805 package outline and 3 GHz frequency capability. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical tolerance compatibility before integration.
