Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AIRD-06-2R2K is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

  • Inductance value: 2.2 µH
  • Current rating: 11.4 A minimum
  • DC resistance: 4 mOhm maximum
  • Saturation current: 68 A minimum
  • Core material: Ferrite
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C

Mechanical Parameters:

  • Mounting type: Through hole
  • Package configuration: Radial, vertical cylinder
  • Physical dimensions: 0.827" diameter (21.00 mm)

Compliance Parameters:

  • RoHS3 compliance required
  • Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (unlimited)

The AIRD-06-2R2N qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Tolerance differences do not preclude substitution when the application circuit design accommodates the specified tolerance range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: AIRD-06-2R2N

The AIRD-06-2R2N is the recommended substitute for the obsolete AIRD-06-2R2K. Both components are manufactured by Abracon LLC within the same AIRD-06 series and share identical electrical performance specifications for inductance value, current rating, saturation current, and DC resistance.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards. The AIRD-06-2R2N carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete AIRD-06-2R2K.

Tolerance Consideration: The AIRD-06-2R2N specifies ±30% inductance tolerance compared to the ±10% tolerance of the AIRD-06-2R2K. Circuit designs must accommodate this wider tolerance band. Applications requiring tighter inductance control require validation against the ±30% specification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical through-hole mounting configuration, radial vertical cylinder package, and 0.827" diameter (21.00 mm) dimensions ensure direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AIRD-06-2R2N directly replace the AIRD-06-2R2K in existing designs?

A: Yes, the AIRD-06-2R2N provides direct substitution for the obsolete AIRD-06-2R2K. Both components share identical inductance values, current ratings, DC resistance specifications, and physical dimensions. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and inductance tolerance (±30% versus ±10%).

Q: What is the impact of the wider ±30% tolerance on the AIRD-06-2R2N?

A: The ±30% tolerance specification on the AIRD-06-2R2N represents a wider acceptable inductance range compared to the ±10% tolerance of the AIRD-06-2R2K. Circuit designs must verify that the application can function within this broader tolerance band. If the original design requires the tighter ±10% tolerance, additional circuit validation is necessary.

Q: Are there any compliance or environmental differences between these parts?

A: Both the AIRD-06-2R2K and AIRD-06-2R2N maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) ratings. No compliance or environmental differences exist between the two components.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The AIRD-06-2R2K is classified as obsolete with limited remaining inventory. The AIRD-06-2R2N is an active product with confirmed current inventory, making it the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes, both components feature identical physical dimensions: 0.827" diameter (21.00 mm) with radial vertical cylinder package configuration. Through-hole mounting compatibility is maintained, allowing direct board-level substitution without PCB layout modifications.

Q: What electrical parameters must match for substitution eligibility?

A: Critical matching parameters include inductance value (2.2 µH), current rating (11.4 A), saturation current (68 A), DC resistance (4 mOhm maximum), core material (ferrite), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The AIRD-06-2R2N meets all these requirements.
