Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CDRH62B-120MC are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within acceptable tolerances for this inductor category:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Inductance value: 12 µH (exact match required)
• Current rating: 1 A minimum
• DC resistance: ≤200mOhm maximum
• Shielding: Shielded configuration
• Mounting: Surface mount
• Package dimensions: Compatible with 6.60mm × 6.20mm footprint and 3.00mm maximum height
• Inductance tolerance: ±20% or better

Identified Substitute Parts:

1. CDRH62BNP-120MC-B (Sumida America Components Inc.) — Direct series variant with identical electrical specifications and improved product status (Active vs. Obsolete)

2. PF0601.123NLT (Pulse Electronics) — Alternative manufacturer solution with equivalent inductance and current rating; features improved DC resistance (140mOhm vs. 200mOhm) and extended temperature range

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CDRH62BNP-120MC-B Selection Rationale:

The CDRH62BNP-120MC-B is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (12 µH, 1 A, 200mOhm DCR) and mechanical compatibility (6.60 × 6.20 × 3.00mm) with the obsolete CDRH62B-120MC. The key advantage is active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The extended operating temperature range (-40 to 100°C vs. -30 to 100°C) provides additional thermal margin. Packaging is available in Tape & Reel format, supporting automated assembly processes.

PF0601.123NLT Selection Rationale:

The PF0601.123NLT serves as an alternative cross-manufacturer substitute when CDRH62BNP-120MC-B availability is constrained. This Pulse Electronics part delivers equivalent inductance and current rating with superior DC resistance performance (140mOhm vs. 200mOhm maximum), reducing power dissipation in the application. The extended operating temperature range (-40 to 130°C) and higher self-resonant frequency (30MHz) support broader application scenarios. Package dimensions (6.90 × 6.50mm) represent a minor footprint increase; height remains at 3.00mm maximum. ROHS3 compliance and active product status ensure regulatory and supply chain continuity.

Both substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status, addressing the regulatory and obsolescence concerns of the original CDRH62B-120MC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CDRH62BNP-120MC-B be used as a direct drop-in replacement for CDRH62B-120MC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (12 µH), current rating (1 A), DC resistance (200mOhm maximum), shielding configuration, and package footprint (6.60 × 6.20mm). The CDRH62BNP-120MC-B is the same series with improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Q: What are the footprint differences between CDRH62B-120MC and PF0601.123NLT?

A: The PF0601.123NLT has a slightly larger length and width (6.90 × 6.50mm vs. 6.60 × 6.20mm). Maximum height is identical at 3.00mm. PCB layout verification is required to confirm compatibility in space-constrained designs.

Q: Does the lower DC resistance of PF0601.123NLT (140mOhm vs. 200mOhm) affect circuit performance?

A: Lower DC resistance reduces resistive losses and heat generation at rated current. This is a performance improvement that does not compromise compatibility. The part remains within the 1 A current rating and maintains the required 12 µH inductance.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between the substitutes?

A: CDRH62BNP-120MC-B is available in Tape & Reel packaging, supporting automated pick-and-place assembly. CDRH62B-120MC packaging format is not specified in the provided data. PF0601.123NLT packaging format is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What is the impact of the different inductance test frequencies (1 kHz vs. 100 kHz)?

A: Inductance values are measured at different frequencies. The CDRH62B-120MC and CDRH62BNP-120MC-B are tested at 1 kHz, while PF0601.123NLT is tested at 100 kHz. Both parts deliver 12 µH ±20% inductance within their respective test conditions. Application frequency response should be evaluated if operating significantly above 1 kHz.

Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for my application?

A: CDRH62B-120MC is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitutes (CDRH62BNP-120MC-B and PF0601.123NLT) are ROHS3 compliant. Regulatory requirements vary by region and end-market. Confirm RoHS requirements with your design and compliance teams.

Q: Can I use PF0601.123NLT in a design originally specified for CDRH62B-120MC?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the slightly larger footprint (6.90 × 6.50mm vs. 6.60 × 6.20mm). Electrical specifications are compatible: 12 µH inductance, 1 A current rating, shielded configuration, and surface mount mounting. The improved DC resistance (140mOhm) and extended temperature range (-40 to 130°C) are performance enhancements.
