ELL-5PR6R8N Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELL-5PR6R8N is a 6.8 µH shielded wirewound inductor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated for 1.4 A continuous current with 85 mOhm DC resistance. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part operates at 100 kHz inductance test frequency and is housed in a nonstandard 5.00mm x 5.00mm surface mount package with 2.00mm maximum seated height.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELL-5PR6R8N are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Inductance value: 6.8 µH (exact match required)
Inductance tolerance: ±30% or tighter
Current rating: equal to or greater than 1.4 A
DC resistance: within acceptable operating range (83–90 mOhm)
Shielding: shielded construction required
Mounting type: surface mount
Package footprint: 5.00mm x 5.00mm x 2.00mm maximum height
Inductance test frequency: 100 kHz

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR (KYOCERA AVX) and TYS50206R8M-10 (Laird-Signal Integrity Products). Both maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved current ratings and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are qualified replacements for the obsolete ELL-5PR6R8N based on electrical and mechanical compatibility.

LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR (KYOCERA AVX) provides a direct functional equivalent with ferrite core construction, 1.65 A current rating, and 90 mOhm DC resistance. This part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains active product status with documented operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

TYS50206R8M-10 (Laird-Signal Integrity Products) offers superior electrical performance with 1.8 A current rating, 83 mOhm maximum DC resistance, and tighter ±20% inductance tolerance. This part includes specified self-resonant frequency of 30 MHz and is ROHS3 compliant with active product status and -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Both parts are available in tape and reel packaging and maintain identical footprint and height specifications. Selection between these substitutes depends on design margin requirements and specific application thermal or frequency performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR or TYS50206R8M-10 be used as direct drop-in replacements for ELL-5PR6R8N?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. They share identical 5.00mm x 5.00mm x 2.00mm footprint and height, 6.8 µH inductance value, shielded construction, and 100 kHz test frequency. PCB layout modifications are not required.

Q: What is the difference in DC resistance between the substitute parts?

A: LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR has 90 mOhm DC resistance, while TYS50206R8M-10 specifies 83 mOhm maximum. The original ELL-5PR6R8N is rated at 85 mOhm. TYS50206R8M-10 offers lower resistance, which reduces power dissipation in current-limited applications.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR and TYS50206R8M-10 are ROHS3 compliant. The original ELL-5PR6R8N RoHS status is not specified.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between the three parts?

A: ELL-5PR6R8N is rated for 1.4 A continuous current. LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR is rated for 1.65 A, and TYS50206R8M-10 is rated for 1.8 A. Both substitutes provide higher current capacity.

Q: How do saturation current values compare?

A: ELL-5PR6R8N has Isat of 1.7 A. LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR has Isat of 1.6 A, while TYS50206R8M-10 has Isat of 2.05 A. TYS50206R8M-10 provides the highest saturation margin.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance specification for each part?

A: ELL-5PR6R8N and LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR both specify ±30% tolerance. TYS50206R8M-10 offers tighter ±20% tolerance, providing better inductance value consistency.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR and TYS50206R8M-10 are supplied in tape and reel packaging. The original ELL-5PR6R8N packaging format is not specified. All three parts are surface mount components with identical footprint dimensions.

Q: What operating temperature ranges are specified?

A: ELL-5PR6R8N operating temperature is not specified. Both LMLP05B5N6R8CTAR and TYS50206R8M-10 operate across -40°C to 125°C, providing defined thermal performance boundaries for design validation.
