Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official Nidec Components documentation to ensure correct packaging and compliance status. Confirm that the 0805 package dimensions align with the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a precise 9dB attenuation level is required at 50 Ohms impedance. Ensure the operating frequency does not exceed 3 GHz and that the circuit power remains below 63mW. The 0805 footprint must be accommodated in the design.

Attenuators Part Context

This part belongs to the E-TA2012 series of thin-film chip attenuators from Nidec Components. These devices are engineered for high stability and precision in radio frequency applications, offering consistent performance across the specified bandwidth while occupying minimal board space.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Consider the E-TA2012 9DB N5 or E-TA2012 9DB N6 as potential substitutes if available from the same manufacturer, ensuring identical electrical specifications and package compatibility.
