Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ECS-HCMPI-0402LRQ-2R2M-T and ASPIAIG-FLR4020-2R2M-T are Active status components with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts may be based on:

Availability: The ASPIAIG-FLR4020-2R2M-T currently maintains higher inventory levels (10,268 pcs) compared to the ECS part (911 pcs), which may influence lead time considerations.

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH Unaffected status, making them suitable for equivalent application contexts.

Regulatory & Export: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.8000) classifications, ensuring no regulatory differentiation for procurement or export purposes.

Moisture Handling: Both components feature MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ASPIAIG-FLR4020-2R2M-T be used as a direct replacement for the ECS-HCMPI-0402LRQ-2R2M-T?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters, including inductance value, current rating, DC resistance, shielding, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. Both maintain identical AEC-Q200 and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical physical dimensions of 4.10 mm x 4.10 mm x 2.10 mm (maximum height) and are designed for surface mount assembly on standard PCB layouts. The supplier device packages (0402 for ECS and 4020 for Abracon) refer to nonstandard package designations but result in identical footprints and mounting compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both the ECS-HCMPI-0402LRQ-2R2M-T and ASPIAIG-FLR4020-2R2M-T carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings, making them suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

Q: What is the significance of the 24.6 mOhm DC resistance specification?

A: The DC resistance (DCR) of 24.6 mOhm maximum defines the resistive losses in the inductor coil. This parameter is critical for power dissipation calculations and thermal management in high-current applications. Both substitute parts maintain identical DCR specifications.

Q: Are there any environmental or storage considerations for these inductors?

A: Both parts feature Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. They operate across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and comply with ROHS3 and REACH regulations, making them suitable for standard industrial storage and handling conditions.

Q: What does the ±20% inductance tolerance mean for circuit design?

A: The ±20% tolerance indicates that the actual inductance value may vary between 1.76 µH and 2.64 µH across the production range. Circuit designs must account for this tolerance band to ensure proper performance across all manufactured units.
