TE Connectivity 2176075-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2176075-6 is a 0.6 nH unshielded thin film inductor rated for 350 mA maximum current with a maximum DC resistance of 250mOhm. This component is packaged in a 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount form factor and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, equivalent substitute parts with active availability are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The substitute part identified maintains the same inductance value and package specification while offering improved electrical characteristics and active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 2176075-6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 0.6 nH
• Inductance tolerance: ±0.2 nH
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current rating may exceed the original specification (350 mA minimum requirement)
• DC resistance may be lower than the original specification (250mOhm maximum requirement)
• Self-resonant frequency may differ within acceptable RF performance ranges
• Product status may transition from obsolete to active

The TDK Corporation MLG0603P0N6CT000 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and provides superior electrical characteristics with higher current rating (1 A) and lower DC resistance (60mOhm), making it a direct functional substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TDK Corporation MLG0603P0N6CT000 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 2176075-6 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The TDK substitute provides defined REACH status (REACH Unaffected) compared to the vendor-undefined status of the original part, offering improved regulatory documentation for supply chain compliance.

Product Availability and Lifecycle: The TE Connectivity 2176075-6 is classified as obsolete with limited inventory (1095 Pcs). The TDK MLG0603P0N6CT000 is active with substantial inventory availability (100300 Pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity and production support.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part exceeds the original specifications in current handling capacity (1 A versus 350 mA) and provides superior DC resistance characteristics (60mOhm versus 250mOhm maximum). These improvements result in reduced power dissipation and enhanced thermal performance in the same physical package. The self-resonant frequency increases from 9 GHz to 10 GHz, maintaining RF performance within acceptable parameters for ultra-high-frequency applications.

Physical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical package specifications (0201 / 0603 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount), and physical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W). Direct board-level substitution is supported without PCB redesign or assembly process modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TDK MLG0603P0N6CT000 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 2176075-6 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package specifications (0201 / 0603 Metric), physical dimensions, and surface mount mounting type. Direct substitution on existing PCBs is supported without modification.

Q: What are the key differences between the thin film construction of the original part and the multilayer construction of the substitute?

A: The original TE Connectivity part uses thin film technology, while the TDK substitute uses multilayer construction. Both achieve the same 0.6 nH inductance value and ±0.2 nH tolerance. The multilayer construction of the substitute provides lower DC resistance (60mOhm versus 250mOhm) and higher current rating (1 A versus 350 mA).

Q: Are there any thermal or frequency performance concerns when substituting this component?

A: No. The self-resonant frequency increases slightly from 9 GHz to 10 GHz, which remains within acceptable parameters for RF applications. The lower DC resistance of the substitute (60mOhm) results in reduced power dissipation and improved thermal performance compared to the original part (250mOhm).

Q: Does the substitute part maintain the same regulatory compliance status?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The TDK substitute provides improved regulatory documentation with defined REACH status (REACH Unaffected) compared to the vendor-undefined status of the original part.

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it affect circuit design?

A: The substitute part is rated for 1 A maximum current, compared to 350 mA for the original part. This higher rating provides additional design margin and allows the component to operate safely in applications requiring current levels between 350 mA and 1 A without derating.

Q: Is the packaging format identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both components use 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount packaging with identical physical dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm). The TDK substitute includes a specified seated height of 0.013" (0.33mm).
