Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CML0306-2N4-CNH is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 2.4 nH (tolerance ±0.2 nH acceptable)
• Current rating: 500 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 200 mOhm maximum
• Package: 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better
• RoHS compliance status

The LQP03TN2N4B02D from Murata Electronics meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements. While this substitute employs unshielded thick film construction versus the original shielded thin film design, both components satisfy the specified inductance, current, resistance, and package parameters. The substitute maintains compatibility with the physical footprint and thermal operating envelope of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LQP03TN2N4B02D qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching inductance, current rating, DC resistance, package dimensions, and moisture sensitivity specifications. The substitute component carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (20,300 pcs), whereas the original CML0306-2N4-CNH is obsolete with limited stock (799 pcs).

Both components maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and improved inductance tolerance (±0.1 nH versus ±0.2 nH). The primary design difference—unshielded thick film versus shielded thin film construction—does not affect compliance with the specified electrical parameters.

Selection of the LQP03TN2N4B02D is supported by active manufacturing status, superior component availability, and maintained regulatory compliance.
