Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AIRD-06-2R7N is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the AIRD-06-2R7K. Both components share identical inductance values, current ratings, DC resistance specifications, core materials, and physical dimensions.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the AIRD-06-2R7K is obsolete, while the AIRD-06-2R7N maintains active status. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), ensuring equivalent environmental reliability.

The AIRD-06-2R7N exhibits a wider inductance tolerance of ±30% compared to the AIRD-06-2R7K tolerance of ±10%. Applications requiring tighter inductance tolerance specifications must account for this parameter difference during circuit design validation.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this inductor specification, the AIRD-06-2R7N is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and continued availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AIRD-06-2R7N directly replace the AIRD-06-2R7K in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including inductance value, current rating, DC resistance, core material, shielding configuration, and physical dimensions. The AIRD-06-2R7N is a direct substitute.

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

A: The AIRD-06-2R7K specifies ±10% inductance tolerance, while the AIRD-06-2R7N specifies ±30% tolerance. Applications with inductance-sensitive circuits must verify that the wider tolerance of the AIRD-06-2R7N remains within acceptable operating parameters. Circuit performance validation is necessary if tolerance specifications are critical to application function.

Q: Are both parts physically identical?

A: Yes. Both the AIRD-06-2R7K and AIRD-06-2R7N feature identical physical dimensions of 0.827" diameter (21.00 mm), radial vertical cylinder package configuration, and through-hole mounting type. PCB layout and mechanical integration are identical.

Q: Why is the AIRD-06-2R7K listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The AIRD-06-2R7N, carrying active status, represents the current production equivalent within the AIRD-06 series.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL rating of 1 (unlimited), and operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. Environmental reliability and regulatory compliance are equivalent.

Q: What is the current saturation specification for these inductors?

A: Both the AIRD-06-2R7K and AIRD-06-2R7N have a saturation current (Isat) rating of 58 A, indicating the current level at which the inductor begins to saturate and inductance value degrades.
