Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CM6460-104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

Inductance value: 100 µH @ 10 kHz
Number of lines: 2
Current rating: 7A maximum
DC resistance: 6mOhm maximum

Mechanical Specifications:

Mounting type: Surface Mount
Physical dimensions: 0.530" L x 0.530" W (13.46mm x 13.46mm)
Maximum height: 0.300" (7.62mm)
Package case: Horizontal, 4 PC Pad

Environmental Specifications:

Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The CM6460R-104 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Differences exist only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and regulatory compliance status (RoHS3 Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Electrical Compatibility: Both CM6460-104 and CM6460R-104 are electrically equivalent. All inductance, current, and resistance specifications are identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical physical dimensions, mounting type, and footprint. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification when substituting between these parts.

Packaging Considerations: The CM6460-104 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The CM6460R-104 is supplied in Bulk packaging, appropriate for manual assembly or alternative handling processes. Selection depends on production methodology and assembly equipment capabilities.

Compliance Status: The CM6460R-104 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the CM6460-104 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must use the CM6460R-104. Applications without RoHS mandates may use either part.

Inventory and Lead Time: The CM6460R-104 has higher current inventory (1139 units) compared to CM6460-104 (804 units), potentially offering improved availability for high-volume procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are CM6460-104 and CM6460R-104 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical inductance (100 µH @ 10 kHz), current rating (7A), DC resistance (6mOhm), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). They function identically in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and RoHS compliance status (non-compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant). Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use CM6460R-104 in place of CM6460-104 on my PCB?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts have identical footprints, dimensions, and mounting characteristics. Verify that your application does not have specific packaging requirements that mandate Tape & Reel format.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: The CM6460R-104 is ROHS3 Compliant and must be used for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The CM6460-104 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for RoHS-mandated applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. It does not impact electrical performance or reliability of the component itself.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and have the same Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

Q: What is the footprint compatibility between CM6460-104 and CM6460R-104?

A: Both parts are fully footprint compatible. They share identical dimensions (0.530" L x 0.530" W, 13.46mm x 13.46mm), maximum height (0.300" / 7.62mm), and package case configuration (Horizontal, 4 PC Pad).
