Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (DRQ74-8R2-R): The DRQ74-8R2-R remains the primary component choice when the application requires the specified current ratings and saturation characteristics. This part is Active status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute Selection (SRF0703-8R2M): The SRF0703-8R2M from Bourns Inc. is a qualified substitute when the following conditions are met:

  1. The application current requirements do not exceed 2.19 A in parallel configuration or 1.1 A in series configuration
  2. The application current saturation limits do not exceed 2.66 A in parallel configuration or 1.33 A in series configuration
  3. The increased DC resistance values (77.2 mOhm parallel, 306 mOhm series maximum) are acceptable for the circuit design
  4. The lower profile height (3.60mm versus 4.45mm) is compatible with PCB assembly constraints

Both components are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1. Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges and footprint dimensions. The SRF0703-8R2M offers a lower profile option with equivalent inductance values within tolerance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary differences between DRQ74-8R2-R and SRF0703-8R2M?

A: The primary differences are current ratings, saturation characteristics, and DC resistance values. The DRQ74-8R2-R provides higher current capacity (2.53 A parallel vs. 2.19 A) and lower DC resistance (44.1 mOhm parallel vs. 77.2 mOhm maximum). The SRF0703-8R2M offers a lower profile height (3.60mm vs. 4.45mm).

Q: Are the inductance values equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. The parallel inductance values are 8.566 µH (DRQ74-8R2-R) and 8.2 µH (SRF0703-8R2M), which fall within the ±20% tolerance specification. Series inductance values are 34.26 µH and 32.8 µH respectively, also within tolerance.

Q: Can SRF0703-8R2M be used in all applications where DRQ74-8R2-R is specified?

A: No. The SRF0703-8R2M has lower current ratings and saturation limits. Substitution is only valid when circuit current requirements do not exceed the SRF0703-8R2M specifications and when the higher DC resistance is acceptable.

Q: Do both parts have identical footprints?

A: Yes. Both components have identical footprint dimensions of 7.60mm x 7.60mm (0.299" x 0.299"). The SRF0703-8R2M has a lower height of 3.60mm compared to 4.45mm for the DRQ74-8R2-R.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both DRQ74-8R2-R and SRF0703-8R2M are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Q: How do the DC resistance values compare?

A: The DRQ74-8R2-R has lower DC resistance: 44.1 mOhm (parallel) and 177 mOhm (series). The SRF0703-8R2M has maximum DC resistance values of 77.2 mOhm (parallel) and 306 mOhm (series). Higher DC resistance results in increased power dissipation.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
