CM6460-224 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CM6460-224 is a 220 µH 2-line common mode choke manufactured by API Delevan Inc., rated for 5A maximum current with 12mOhm DC resistance. The device is supplied in Surface Mount packaging with Tape & Reel (TR) configuration and is currently in Active production status. Alternative models become necessary when specific packaging requirements or compliance standards differ from the original specification, such as when RoHS3 compliance is mandated or when bulk packaging is preferred over tape and reel distribution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CM6460-224 is based strictly on the following criteria:

• Inductance Value: 220 µH at 10 kHz (primary electrical parameter)
• Line Configuration: 2-line common mode choke (functional requirement)
• Current Rating: 5A maximum continuous current (thermal and electrical limit)
• DC Resistance: 12mOhm maximum (power loss specification)
• Package Type: Surface Mount with identical physical dimensions (0.530" x 0.530" x 0.300")
• Mounting Compatibility: 4-pad horizontal configuration (PCB interface)

The CM6460R-224 variant meets all these electrical and mechanical parameters identically. Substitution is permissible based on these equivalent specifications, with differentiation limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CM6460-224 and CM6460R-224 meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance and packaging requirements:

CM6460-224 (Tape & Reel Packaging): Select when Tape & Reel distribution is required for automated assembly processes and RoHS compliance is not a design constraint.

CM6460R-224 (Bulk Packaging, ROHS3 Compliant): Select when ROHS3 compliance is mandatory or when bulk packaging is preferred for manual assembly or stockkeeping procedures. This variant is preferred for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements.

Both variants share identical electrical performance, current ratings, thermal characteristics, and physical footprints, ensuring interchangeability at the circuit level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM6460R-224 replace CM6460-224 in an existing design? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The CM6460R-224 is a direct substitute for the CM6460-224, differing only in packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers? A: The CM6460-224 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with RoHS non-compliant status. The CM6460R-224 uses Bulk packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Electrical specifications and physical dimensions are identical.

Q: Can either part be used interchangeably in PCB assembly? A: Yes. Both parts have identical Surface Mount packages (0.530" x 0.530" x 0.300" footprint) and 4-pad horizontal configurations, permitting direct substitution on PCB layouts.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS3-compliant products? A: The CM6460R-224 is ROHS3 compliant and is the appropriate selection for products requiring RoHS3 regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there differences in current-carrying capability or inductance between these parts? A: No. Both the CM6460-224 and CM6460R-224 provide identical current ratings (5A maximum), DC resistance (12mOhm maximum), and inductance (220 µH @ 10 kHz).

Q: What packaging format should be selected for high-volume manufacturing? A: The CM6460-224 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The CM6460R-224 in Bulk format is appropriate for manual assembly or applications not requiring tape-and-reel packaging.
