Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 2176075-8 is based on the following critical parameters that must align across equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 0.8 nH
• Inductance tolerance: ±0.2 nH
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Inductance test frequency: 500 MHz

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 300 mA
• DC resistance: Substitute must equal or be lower than 300 mOhm Max
• Self-resonant frequency: Substitute must be 9 GHz or higher
• Product status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability
• RoHS and MSL compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant and MSL 1 status

The TDK Corporation MLG0603P0N8CT000 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds performance in current rating (1 A versus 300 mA) and DC resistance (60 mOhm Max versus 300 mOhm Max), while maintaining equivalent inductance, package, and frequency characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TDK Corporation MLG0603P0N8CT000 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 2176075-8 based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Certification Alignment: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Electrical Parameter Equivalence: The substitute part matches the critical inductance specification of 0.8 nH with identical ±0.2 nH tolerance at the 500 MHz test frequency. Both components are unshielded and operate within the same self-resonant frequency range suitable for high-frequency applications.

Performance Enhancement: The TDK substitute provides superior electrical performance with 1 A current rating (compared to 300 mA) and 60 mOhm maximum DC resistance (compared to 300 mOhm maximum), resulting in lower losses and higher current handling capability within the same physical footprint.

Product Availability: The substitute part carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (18,554 pieces), addressing the obsolescence of the original component.

Physical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and surface mount mounting type, enabling direct board-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TDK MLG0603P0N8CT000 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 2176075-8?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance (0.8 nH), inductance tolerance (±0.2 nH), package (0201 / 0603 Metric), and mounting type (Surface Mount). The TDK substitute provides equal or superior performance across all electrical parameters while maintaining equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between thin film and multilayer inductor construction?

A: The TE Connectivity 2176075-8 uses thin film construction, while the TDK MLG0603P0N8CT000 uses multilayer construction with a non-magnetic core. Both achieve the same 0.8 nH inductance value and operate identically at the 500 MHz test frequency. The multilayer construction in the TDK part results in lower DC resistance (60 mOhm versus 300 mOhm).

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between these components?

A: No. Both components use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm). Direct board-level substitution is possible without PCB redesign.

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

A: The TDK substitute is rated for 1 A maximum current, compared to 300 mA for the original component. This represents a performance enhancement. If the circuit design requires only 300 mA or less, the substitute operates within specification with additional current margin.

Q: Do both components meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The TDK substitute additionally specifies an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, providing defined thermal performance boundaries.

Q: Why is the original TE Connectivity part marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on market demand and production decisions. The TDK MLG0603P0N8CT000 provides equivalent functionality with active product status and confirmed ongoing availability.

Q: What is the self-resonant frequency, and why does it matter?

A: Self-resonant frequency indicates the frequency at which the inductor transitions from inductive to capacitive behavior. The TE Connectivity part specifies 9 GHz, while the TDK substitute specifies 10 GHz. Both values are suitable for applications operating below these frequencies, with the TDK part providing slightly extended high-frequency performance.
