Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ASPI-2510-R68N-T2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 680 nH (primary electrical specification)
• Package Type: 1008 (2520 Metric) surface mount (mechanical compatibility)
• Core Type: Ferrite drum core, wirewound (functional equivalence)
• Shielding: Shielded configuration (electromagnetic performance)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C (thermal compatibility)
• Current Rating: Minimum 2.2 A (electrical load capacity)
• DC Resistance: Maximum 52 mOhm (power dissipation constraint)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant (regulatory requirement)

The ASPI-2510-R68M-T2 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching inductance, package, core type, shielding, temperature range, and compliance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ASPI-2510-R68M-T2 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete ASPI-2510-R68N-T2. Both components are manufactured by Abracon LLC and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: inductance value, package type, core material, shielding configuration, and operating temperature range.

The substitute part offers improved tolerance (±20% versus ±30%), enhanced saturation current (2.75 A versus 2.05 A), and equivalent DC resistance performance (51 mOhm Max versus 52 mOhm). The ASPI-2510-R68M-T2 carries active product status with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for production applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ASPI-2510-R68M-T2 be used as a direct replacement for the ASPI-2510-R68N-T2?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance (680 nH), package configuration (1008/2520 Metric), core type (ferrite drum core, shielded), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C). The substitute meets or exceeds the electrical performance requirements of the original part.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), inductance tolerance (±30% versus ±20%), current rating (2.2 A versus 2.1 A), saturation current (2.05 A versus 2.75 A), and DC resistance specification format (52 mOhm versus 51 mOhm Max). The substitute provides tighter tolerance and higher saturation current.

Q: Are there any package or footprint compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 1008 (2520 Metric) surface mount package with matching dimensions (0.098" L x 0.079" W / 2.50mm x 2.00mm) and height (0.039" / 1.00mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The ASPI-2510-R68M-T2 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original part. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification and the same HTSUS code (8504.50.8000).

Q: What is the current rating difference, and does it affect circuit design?

A: The substitute is rated for 2.1 A continuous current compared to 2.2 A for the original part. This 0.1 A difference is negligible for most applications. The substitute's higher saturation current (2.75 A versus 2.05 A) provides improved headroom against saturation effects.
