Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 0805-3N0J is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: inductance value (3 nH), tolerance (±5%), current rating (800 mA minimum), DC resistance (60 mOhm maximum), core material (ceramic), shielding configuration (unshielded), and physical package dimensions (0805 form factor). The substitute part 36502A3N0JTDG from TE Connectivity Passive Product meets all these requirements, maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 36502A3N0JTDG directly replace the 0805-3N0J on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions (0.090" L x 0.068" W, 0.060" max height), 0805 package form factor, and electrical specifications. PCB layout modifications are not required.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Inductance (3 nH), tolerance (±5%), current rating (800 mA), DC resistance (60 mOhm max), core material (ceramic), and shielding configuration (unshielded) must remain constant. Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: Why is the 0805-3N0J classified as obsolete?

A: The 0805-3N0J has been discontinued by API Delevan Inc. The 36502A3N0JTDG remains in active production, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement stock.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 0805-3N0J is RoHS non-compliant, while the 36502A3N0JTDG is ROHS3 compliant. The substitute also carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 0805-3N0J uses nonstandard packaging designation, while the 36502A3N0JTDG is specified as 0805 (2015 Metric) in Tape & Reel format. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics remain identical.

Q: Are the frequency characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both parts demonstrate self-resonant frequency of 7.9 GHz and Q factor of 65 at 1.5 GHz, with inductance testing performed at 250 MHz.
