ELL-5PS101M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELL-5PS101M is a 100 µH shielded wirewound inductor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated for 340 mA continuous current with 1.32Ohm DC resistance. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain the same inductance value, tolerance, shielding characteristics, and surface mount compatibility while meeting or exceeding the electrical performance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELL-5PS101M are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Inductance value: 100 µH (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching specification)
• Shielding: Shielded construction (electromagnetic containment requirement)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (PCB assembly compatibility)
• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 340 mA
• DC resistance: Within acceptable operating parameters for the application
• Test frequency: 100 kHz (measurement standard alignment)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better

The substitute parts identified—CDRH38D16RLDNP-101MC and CDRH4D16NP-101MC—meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CDRH38D16RLDNP-101MC is the primary substitute option. This part exceeds the current rating requirement (350 mA vs. 340 mA), maintains equivalent DC resistance (1.335Ohm vs. 1.32Ohm), and is manufactured by an active supplier with defined operating temperature specifications (-40°C ~ 105°C). The drum core, ferrite construction provides shielded performance consistent with the original design. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.

CDRH4D16NP-101MC is a secondary substitute option suitable for applications where current requirements do not exceed 290 mA. This part features slightly elevated DC resistance (1.48Ohm Max) and a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C). RoHS3 compliance is documented. This option is appropriate for cost-sensitive designs with reduced current demands.

Both substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, matching the original component's moisture sensitivity classification, and are supplied in standard Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CDRH4D16NP-101MC replace ELL-5PS101M in all applications?

A: CDRH4D16NP-101MC is suitable only for applications where the continuous current requirement does not exceed 290 mA. The original ELL-5PS101M is rated for 340 mA. If your circuit operates at or above 340 mA, use CDRH38D16RLDNP-101MC instead.

Q: What is the impact of DC resistance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The DC resistance values are within 1.5% of each other (1.32Ohm, 1.335Ohm, and 1.48Ohm). For most applications, these differences are negligible. Verify DC resistance impact only if your circuit design includes tight power dissipation or voltage drop specifications.

Q: Are both substitute parts available in the same package format?

A: Yes. Both CDRH38D16RLDNP-101MC and CDRH4D16NP-101MC are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment.

Q: What is the difference between the core materials of the substitute parts?

A: CDRH38D16RLDNP-101MC uses a ferrite drum core construction. CDRH4D16NP-101MC core material is not specified in the provided data. Both maintain shielded performance and 100 µH inductance at 100 kHz test frequency.

Q: Do the substitute parts have temperature operating range specifications?

A: Yes. CDRH38D16RLDNP-101MC operates from -40°C to 105°C, and CDRH4D16NP-101MC operates from -40°C to 100°C. The original ELL-5PS101M operating temperature range is not specified. Confirm your application's temperature requirements before selection.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels equivalent across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.
