CML0306-6N8-JNH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CML0306-6N8-JNH is a 6.8 nH shielded thin film inductor manufactured by Delta Electronics/Cyntec, designed for surface mount applications in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package. This component operates across -40°C to 85°C with a maximum DC resistance of 700mOhm and supports current ratings up to 230 mA. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CML0306-6N8-JNH is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Must be 6.8 nH with ±5% tolerance
• Package / Case: Must be 0201 (0603 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Current Rating: Substitute must support minimum 230 mA
• DC Resistance: Substitute DCR must not exceed 700mOhm to maintain circuit performance
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature: Must cover the required range or exceed it

The LQP03TN6N8J02D from Murata Electronics meets these substitution criteria with equivalent inductance, package, and mounting specifications. While the substitute features unshielded construction versus the original shielded design, it maintains electrical parameter compatibility within the specified tolerances.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LQP03TN6N8J02D is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete CML0306-6N8-JNH. Selection is supported by:

• Active Product Status: The substitute is currently in active production with 20,200 units in stock, ensuring long-term availability
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain RoHS and REACH compliance; the substitute achieves ROHS3 certification
• Electrical Equivalence: Identical inductance value and tolerance with superior current rating (300 mA vs. 230 mA) and lower DC resistance (600mOhm vs. 700mOhm)
• Thermal Performance: Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) exceeds the original specification
• Package Compatibility: Identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package ensures direct PCB layout compatibility

The primary design consideration is the transition from shielded to unshielded construction. This change is acceptable in applications where electromagnetic interference is not a critical design constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LQP03TN6N8J02D directly replace the CML0306-6N8-JNH without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W, 0.61mm x 0.31mm). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the impact of switching from shielded to unshielded construction?

A: The unshielded design reduces electromagnetic shielding. In applications sensitive to EMI or operating in high-noise environments, circuit-level shielding or layout modifications may be necessary. In standard RF and digital applications, this substitution is functionally equivalent.

Q: Does the substitute meet the current rating requirement?

A: Yes. The LQP03TN6N8J02D supports 300 mA, exceeding the original 230 mA specification. This provides additional design margin.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both components are RoHS and REACH compliant. The substitute achieves ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory standards. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance for both parts?

A: Both the CML0306-6N8-JNH and LQP03TN6N8J02D maintain ±5% inductance tolerance, ensuring equivalent circuit performance.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. The LQP03TN6N8J02D is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly. The component package remains 0201 (0603 Metric).
