Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CM6560-184 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters that define substitutability are:

• Inductance value and frequency specification (180 µH @ 10 kHz)
• Number of lines (2-line configuration)
• Current rating capacity (7A maximum)
• DC resistance specification (7mOhm maximum)
• Physical dimensions and mounting footprint (16.00mm x 16.00mm x 8.13mm maximum height)
• Surface mount package type (Horizontal, 4 PC Pad)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)

The CM6560R-184 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and compliance certification status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CM6560-184 and CM6560R-184 are Active status products from API Delevan Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging and compliance requirements:

CM6560-184 is specified when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes. This part carries RoHS non-compliant status.

CM6560R-184 is specified when bulk packaging is acceptable and ROHS3 compliance is required. This variant provides higher inventory availability (8617 pieces versus 1063 pieces) and meets RoHS3 regulatory requirements.

Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8548.00.0000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CM6560R-184 replace CM6560-184 in production?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (180 µH @ 10 kHz, 7A, 7mOhm DCR) and mechanical dimensions (16.00mm x 16.00mm x 8.13mm). The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and RoHS compliance status. Substitution is valid when bulk packaging is compatible with assembly processes and ROHS3 compliance is acceptable.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is used for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or when components are transferred to alternative packaging systems. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a material composition and environmental regulation requirement. It does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance of the component. Both CM6560-184 and CM6560R-184 deliver identical inductance, current rating, and DC resistance specifications.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.630" L x 0.630" W (16.00mm x 16.00mm) with maximum height of 0.320" (8.13mm). Both use Horizontal, 4 PC Pad package configuration and are compatible with the same PCB footprint.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 105°C. This range applies to all electrical and mechanical specifications.
