Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6000-561K-RC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 560 µH with ±10% tolerance
• Current rating: 640 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 1.4Ohm maximum
• Core material and shielding: Ferrite, unshielded drum core
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, radial vertical cylinder
• Physical footprint: 0.354" diameter, 0.480" maximum seated height
• Electrical performance: Q factor and self-resonant frequency characteristics

The RLB9012-561KL meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, with the primary distinction being its active product status and extended operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison
