BRC2016T220K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BRC2016T220K is a 22 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by Taiyo Yuden, rated for 310 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 1.3 Ohm. This component is packaged in the 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount form factor and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

The BRC2016T220K carries a product status designation of "Not For New Designs," indicating that Taiyo Yuden has discontinued active development and support for this series. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and transition to actively supported product lines while preserving electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BRC2016T220K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Inductance value: 22 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±10%
• Current rating: 310 mA minimum
• Current saturation (Isat): 310 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 1.3 Ohm maximum
• Core material: Ferrite
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Self-resonant frequency: 24 MHz
• Test frequency: 100 kHz

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 0806 (2016 Metric)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L × 0.063" W (2.00 mm × 1.60 mm)
• Maximum seated height: 0.071" (1.80 mm)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications without deviation. The LSQPB201616T220K meets these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The LSQPB201616T220K is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the BRC2016T220K, with no circuit redesign or board layout modification required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LSQPB201616T220K be used as a direct replacement for the BRC2016T220K?

A: Yes. The LSQPB201616T220K is a direct equivalent. All electrical parameters (inductance, current rating, DC resistance, core material, shielding), mechanical dimensions (0806 package, 2.00 mm × 1.60 mm), and environmental specifications (-40°C to 105°C operating range) are identical. No circuit modifications or board layout changes are required.

Q: Why is the BRC2016T220K marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that Taiyo Yuden has discontinued active development and support for the BR series. The LSQPB201616T220K, part of the active LSQP series, represents the current product line offering equivalent performance and specifications.

Q: Are there any differences in package dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both components use the 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount package with identical physical dimensions: 0.079" length × 0.063" width (2.00 mm × 1.60 mm) and maximum seated height of 0.071" (1.80 mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the BRC2016T220K and LSQPB201616T220K are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity level ratings of 1 (Unlimited). Environmental and regulatory compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the current rating for these inductors?

A: Both components are rated for 310 mA continuous current with a saturation current (Isat) of 310 mA. Maximum DC resistance is 1.3 Ohm for both parts.

Q: Are these inductors shielded or unshielded?

A: Both the BRC2016T220K and LSQPB201616T220K are unshielded drum core wirewound inductors with ferrite core material. The self-resonant frequency for both is 24 MHz.
