Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RLB9012-820KL qualifies as a direct substitute for the 6000-820K-RC based on the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Both parts specify 82 µH with ±10% tolerance
• Current Rating: Both rated for 1.3 A
• DC Resistance: Both specify 230 mOhm maximum
• Core Type: Both use ferrite drum core construction
• Shielding: Both are unshielded
• Mounting: Both are through-hole components
• Physical Package: Both use radial, vertical cylinder configuration with identical dimensions (0.354" diameter, 0.480" height)
• Electrical Characteristics: Both exhibit Q of 30 @ 2.52 MHz and self-resonant frequency of 4.1 MHz

The primary distinction is product status: the 6000-820K-RC is not recommended for new designs, while the RLB9012-820KL is an active product from the same manufacturer.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RLB9012-820KL is the appropriate selection for applications currently using the 6000-820K-RC. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements. The RLB9012-820KL offers an extended operating temperature range to 125°C compared to the 6000-820K-RC maximum of 105°C, providing additional thermal margin in high-temperature environments. As an active product, the RLB9012-820KL ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Packaging differs between the two parts (bulk versus tray), which may affect procurement and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RLB9012-820KL directly replace the 6000-820K-RC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (82 µH inductance, 1.3 A current rating, 230 mOhm DC resistance) and physical dimensions (0.354" diameter, 0.480" height). The through-hole radial mounting configuration is identical, allowing direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the 6000-820K-RC?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature or end-of-life status. The RLB9012-820KL is the recommended active equivalent for new circuit designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there differences in temperature performance between these parts?

A: The RLB9012-820KL operates to 125°C maximum, while the 6000-820K-RC is rated to 105°C. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the RLB9012-820KL provides additional thermal headroom.

Q: Do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: The 6000-820K-RC is supplied in bulk packaging, while the RLB9012-820KL uses tray packaging. This affects handling and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical performance or PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 6000-820K-RC and RLB9012-820KL are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental standards for electronic components.
