E-TA2012 T 10DB N4

Attenuators Overview

The E-TA2012 T 10DB N4 is a surface-mount RF attenuator manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. It provides a fixed attenuation of 10 dB with a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms. The component utilizes an 0805 (2012 Metric) package for compact circuit integration. This specific part number is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Provides fixed radio frequency signal attenuation
• Designed for 50 Ohm impedance matching applications
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount form factor

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal path conditioning
• Impedance matching networks
• Signal level reduction in communication circuits

Attenuators Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued and no longer manufactured by the producer. Procurement must rely on secondary market distributors or verified surplus stock. Buyers should confirm the authenticity and storage history of available units, as lead times are variable and dependent on third-party inventory rather than direct factory allocation.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Engineers requiring this specific attenuation value should evaluate the availability of obsolete stock against current design timelines. Alternative components within the same series or equivalent specifications from other manufacturers should be considered to ensure supply chain stability and long-term project viability.

Attenuators Part Context

The E-TA2012 series represents a line of surface-mount attenuators designed for high-frequency applications. These components are characterized by their small footprint and consistent performance in maintaining signal integrity within 50 Ohm systems, commonly used in wireless and test equipment designs.

Attenuators Replacement Considerations

Public records indicate PXV1220S-10DBN4- as a direct substitute option. Verification of pin compatibility and electrical tolerance is required before implementation.
