BRC2016T220M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BRC2016T220M 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 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 BRC2016T220M carries a product status designation of "Not For New Designs," indicating that Taiyo Yuden has discontinued this model for new applications. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, support existing inventory management, and ensure procurement of functionally compatible alternatives for ongoing production or maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BRC2016T220M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Inductance value: 22 µH with ±20% tolerance
• Current rating: 310 mA minimum
• Current saturation (Isat): 310 mA minimum
• Self-resonant frequency: 24 MHz
• Test frequency: 100 kHz

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount form factor
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.063" W (2.00mm x 1.60mm)
• Maximum seated height: 0.071" (1.80mm)

Material & Environmental Parameters:

• Core material: Ferrite
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The LSQPB201616T220M qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The DC resistance specification differs between the main part (1 Ohm Max) and the substitute (1.3 Ohm Max); this variance remains within acceptable tolerance for equivalent functionality in applications where the inductor's primary role is energy storage and filtering rather than precision resistance matching.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LSQPB201616T220M is the qualified substitute for the BRC2016T220M based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The BRC2016T220M is designated "Not For New Designs," whereas the LSQPB201616T220M carries an "Active" product status. This distinction indicates that the LSQPB201616T220M represents the current production equivalent and is the appropriate selection for ongoing applications.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory standing. Both components are REACH Unaffected and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.8000) classifications.

Electrical Equivalence: The substitute part maintains identical inductance (22 µH ±20%), current rating (310 mA), saturation current (310 mA), self-resonant frequency (24 MHz), and test frequency (100 kHz). The DC resistance specification increases from 1 Ohm Max to 1.3 Ohm Max; this 0.3 Ohm differential is acceptable for inductor substitution in standard filtering and energy storage applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: The LSQPB201616T220M is pin-compatible with the BRC2016T220M, sharing identical 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount packaging, physical dimensions (2.00mm x 1.60mm), and maximum seated height (1.80mm). Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Thermal & Environmental Performance: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and maintain equivalent performance characteristics across the specified frequency range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LSQPB201616T220M be used as a direct replacement for the BRC2016T220M on existing PCB assemblies?

A: Yes. The LSQPB201616T220M is mechanically and electrically compatible with the BRC2016T220M. Both components share the identical 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount package, physical dimensions, and electrical specifications. The parts are pin-compatible and require no PCB layout modifications.

Q: What is the significance of the DC resistance difference between the two parts?

A: The BRC2016T220M specifies a maximum DC resistance of 1 Ohm, while the LSQPB201616T220M specifies 1.3 Ohm Max. This 0.3 Ohm difference is within acceptable tolerance for inductor substitution in filtering, energy storage, and general-purpose RF applications. Applications requiring precise DC resistance matching should conduct circuit-level analysis to confirm acceptability.

Q: Why is the BRC2016T220M marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: The "Not For New Designs" designation indicates that Taiyo Yuden has discontinued this model for new product development. The LSQPB201616T220M, carrying an "Active" status, is the current production equivalent and should be specified for all new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the BRC2016T220M and LSQPB201616T220M are ROHS3 Compliant with identical MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry equivalent regulatory classifications.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance for both parts?

A: Both parts maintain an inductance tolerance of ±20% at the 100 kHz test frequency. This tolerance applies equally to the BRC2016T220M and LSQPB201616T220M.

Q: Can these inductors be used in high-frequency applications?

A: Both parts are rated for a self-resonant frequency of 24 MHz, which defines the upper frequency limit for stable inductor operation. Applications operating near or above this frequency should conduct impedance analysis to confirm suitability.

Q: Is the LSQPB201616T220M available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. The LSQPB201616T220M is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, identical to the BRC2016T220M, ensuring compatibility with automated assembly processes and standard component handling procedures.
