AIRD-06-1R2M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AIRD-06-1R2M 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 losses.

The AIRD-06-1R2M has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AIRD-06-1R2M is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Must be 1.2 µH (exact match required)
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 11.4 A continuous current
• DC Resistance: Must not exceed 3 mOhm maximum
• Core Material & Type: Ferrite drum core, unshielded construction
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole radial mounting with vertical cylinder orientation
• Physical Footprint: 0.827" diameter (21.00mm) to ensure PCB compatibility
• Saturation Current: Must meet or exceed 108 A specification
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance required

The AIRD-06-1R2N qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters within acceptable tolerances for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AIRD-06-1R2N is the qualified substitute for the obsolete AIRD-06-1R2M. Both components are manufactured by Abracon LLC within the same AIRD-06 series and maintain identical electrical performance specifications for inductance, current rating, and DC resistance.

Key advantages of the AIRD-06-1R2N:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C vs. -25°C ~ 85°C) provides broader thermal operating envelope
• Identical physical footprint and mounting configuration enable direct PCB substitution without layout modifications
• Maintained RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Inductance tolerance of ±30% remains within acceptable circuit design margins for applications originally specified with ±20% tolerance

The tolerance difference (±30% vs. ±20%) should be evaluated within the context of the specific circuit application to confirm acceptable performance boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AIRD-06-1R2N be used as a direct replacement for the AIRD-06-1R2M on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical physical dimensions (0.827" diameter, 21.00mm), mounting type (through-hole radial), and package configuration (vertical cylinder). No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: The AIRD-06-1R2M specifies ±20% tolerance, while the AIRD-06-1R2N specifies ±30% tolerance. Both values fall within the same inductance specification of 1.2 µH. Circuit designs must confirm that the wider tolerance of the substitute part remains acceptable for the intended application.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: Both parts maintain identical current ratings (11.4 A), saturation current (108 A), and maximum DC resistance (3 mOhm). The Q factor measurement frequency differs (50kHz vs. 1kHz), but both measure at the specified inductance test frequency of 1 kHz.

Q: What is the advantage of selecting the AIRD-06-1R2N?

A: The AIRD-06-1R2N carries active product status, ensuring reliable long-term availability. It also provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), offering greater thermal flexibility compared to the obsolete AIRD-06-1R2M.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AIRD-06-1R2M and AIRD-06-1R2N are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use multiple AIRD-06-1R2N units in parallel or series configurations?

A: Parallel and series configurations are determined by circuit design requirements and are independent of the substitution relationship. The electrical characteristics of the AIRD-06-1R2N remain consistent with the original AIRD-06-1R2M for such applications.
