Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CI201210-2N2D is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 2.2 nH with ±0.3 nH tolerance
• Current Rating: 300 mA minimum
• DC Resistance: 100 mOhm maximum
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount
• Core Material: Ceramic
• Shielding Configuration: Unshielded
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The CE201210-2N2D meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both components share identical inductance values, current ratings, DC resistance specifications, and package dimensions. The substitute maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CE201210-2N2D is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete CI201210-2N2D. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications for inductance, current rating, and DC resistance. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The CE201210-2N2D offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -25°C to 100°C) and improved Q factor at 100 MHz (18 versus 10), providing enhanced performance characteristics. The substitute maintains the same 0805 (2012 Metric) package footprint with a slightly reduced seated height (1.03mm versus 1.20mm), which presents no compatibility issues for standard PCB assembly processes.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute is available in Tape & Reel packaging format, suitable for automated assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CE201210-2N2D be used as a direct replacement for the CI201210-2N2D?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance values (2.2 nH), current ratings (300 mA), DC resistance specifications (100 mOhm max), and package dimensions (0805 / 2012 Metric). The electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and performance characteristics. The CE201210-2N2D is in active production, while the CI201210-2N2D is obsolete. The substitute offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), higher Q factor at 100 MHz (18 versus 10), and a slightly lower seated height (1.03mm versus 1.20mm).

Q: Will the substitute part fit existing PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package with the same footprint dimensions (2.00mm L x 1.25mm W). The reduced seated height of the substitute (1.03mm versus 1.20mm) presents no assembly or clearance issues.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity levels are identical (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute?

A: The CE201210-2N2D is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated assembly operations.
