Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DFE252012R-H-1R5M=P2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 1.5 µH (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1008 (2520 Metric) (identical footprint and mounting)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (same assembly process compatibility)
• Core Type & Shielding: Drum core, wirewound, shielded (functional equivalence)
• Core Material: Iron powder (electrical performance characteristics)
• Tolerance: ±20% (specification compliance)

The substitute part DFE252012P-1R5M=P2 meets all these criteria. Variations in current rating, saturation current, DC resistance, and operating temperature range are within acceptable substitution parameters when the application requirements do not mandate the specific obsolete part characteristics.
