AIRD-06-1R2K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AIRD-06-1R2K is a 1.2 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by Abracon LLC, rated for 11.4 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 3 mOhm. This through-hole radial component is designed for applications requiring low inductance values with high current capacity and minimal resistance characteristics.

The AIRD-06-1R2K is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing production requirements, field repairs, and system maintenance where this inductor specification remains functionally required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AIRD-06-1R2K are identified based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 1.2 µH
• Current rating: 11.4 A minimum
• DC resistance: 3 mOhm maximum
• Saturation current: 108 A minimum
• Core material: Ferrite
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package type: Radial, Vertical Cylinder
• Physical size: 0.827" diameter (21.00 mm)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C

The AIRD-06-1R2N meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both components share identical inductance, current rating, DC resistance, saturation current, core material, shielding, mounting configuration, package type, physical dimensions, and operating temperature specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AIRD-06-1R2N is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete AIRD-06-1R2K. Both components are manufactured by Abracon LLC within the same AIRD-06 series and share identical electrical performance specifications, physical dimensions, and environmental ratings.

Compliance and Certification Status: Both the main part and substitute maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. Both components carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Product Availability: The AIRD-06-1R2K is obsolete with limited inventory (746 pieces). The AIRD-06-1R2N is active in production with greater availability (1112 pieces), providing supply chain continuity and long-term sourcing reliability.

Tolerance Consideration: The AIRD-06-1R2N carries a ±30% inductance tolerance compared to the ±10% tolerance of the AIRD-06-1R2K. Applications requiring tighter inductance tolerance specifications must evaluate whether the broader tolerance range of the substitute part remains acceptable for circuit performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AIRD-06-1R2N directly replace the AIRD-06-1R2K in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance (1.2 µH), current rating (11.4 A), DC resistance (3 mOhm maximum), saturation current (108 A), core material (ferrite), shielding configuration (unshielded), mounting type (through hole), package type (radial vertical cylinder), physical dimensions (0.827" diameter), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference in inductance tolerance between these parts?

A: The AIRD-06-1R2K specifies ±10% inductance tolerance, while the AIRD-06-1R2N specifies ±30% tolerance. Both tolerances are measured at 1 kHz. Applications with inductance-critical circuits must evaluate whether the ±30% tolerance of the substitute part meets circuit performance requirements.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the AIRD-06-1R2K and AIRD-06-1R2N are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations for electronic components.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these inductors?

A: Both components carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited), indicating no special moisture sensitivity. Standard handling and storage practices are sufficient; no baking or desiccant packaging is required.

Q: Why is the AIRD-06-1R2K listed as obsolete?

A: The AIRD-06-1R2K has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The AIRD-06-1R2N remains in active production as the current equivalent offering within the AIRD-06 series.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components deliver identical Q factor (15 @ 1 kHz), saturation current (108 A), and DC resistance characteristics (3 mOhm maximum). The only difference is inductance tolerance specification.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-current applications?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 11.4 A continuous current and 108 A saturation current, with identical DC resistance (3 mOhm maximum). Thermal and current-handling characteristics are equivalent.
