CM6460-334 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CM6460-334 is a 330 µH, 2-line common mode choke (CMC) designed for surface mount applications with a maximum current rating of 4A and DC resistance of 17mOhm. This component is classified as Active product status and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Common mode chokes are essential filtering components in power distribution and signal integrity applications where differential-mode signals must pass while common-mode noise is attenuated. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or compliance requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CM6460R-334 qualifies as a direct substitute for the CM6460-334 based on the following critical parameters:

All electrical specifications are identical: 330 µH inductance at 10 kHz, 2-line configuration, 4A maximum current rating, and 17mOhm maximum DC resistance. The mechanical footprint is identical: 0.530" L x 0.530" W (13.46mm x 13.46mm) with 0.300" (7.62mm) maximum height. The package type remains Horizontal, 4 PC Pad surface mount configuration. Operating temperature range is identical at -55°C ~ 105°C. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (Unlimited).

The primary difference is packaging format: CM6460-334 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while CM6460R-334 is supplied in Bulk. Both components are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and maintain Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CM6460-334 and CM6460R-334 are Active products from API Delevan Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and compliance mandates.

The CM6460-334 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling. The CM6460R-334 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or applications where reel packaging is not required.

The CM6460R-334 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the CM6460-334 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must specify the CM6460R-334. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM6460R-334 replace CM6460-334 in my design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 330 µH inductance, 4A current rating, 17mOhm DCR, and identical 13.46mm x 13.46mm x 7.62mm footprint. The difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel) and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: No. Both packaging formats contain identical components with the same electrical performance and mechanical footprint. Packaging format only affects the supply method and assembly process compatibility.

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

A: Specify CM6460R-334, which carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The CM6460-334 is RoHS non-compliant and is not suitable for applications with RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there inventory differences between these parts?

A: Yes. CM6460-334 has 889 pieces in stock, while CM6460R-334 has 4,210 pieces in stock. Availability may influence sourcing decisions for high-volume requirements.
