ELL-6SH331M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELL-6SH331M is a 330 µH shielded wirewound inductor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated for 240 mA with a DC resistance of 2.7Ohm. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The part is surface-mounted in a nonstandard package measuring 6.40mm × 6.00mm × 3.30mm (max height) and complies with RoHS3 standards with MSL Level 1 rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELL-6SH331M are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Must be 330 µH at 100 kHz test frequency
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 240 mA operation
• DC Resistance: Must not exceed 2.7Ohm to maintain circuit performance
• Shielding: Must be shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference
• Mounting Type: Must be surface mount compatible
• Package Compatibility: Physical dimensions must accommodate existing PCB layouts within tolerance
• Compliance: Must maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

Two active substitute parts meet these criteria: the B82462G4334M000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics and the SRR5028-331Y from Bourns Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

B82462G4334M000 is the primary substitute for the ELL-6SH331M. This part exceeds the current rating requirement (270 mA vs. 240 mA), features lower DC resistance (2.3Ohm Max vs. 2.7Ohm), and maintains identical inductance and tolerance specifications. The component is actively manufactured, ROHS3 compliant, and rated for extended operating temperatures (-55°C ~ 150°C). The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification provides additional reliability assurance. Physical dimensions (6.30mm × 6.30mm × 3.00mm) are compatible with the original footprint with minimal PCB layout adjustment.

SRR5028-331Y serves as a secondary substitute option. While it meets the 330 µH inductance requirement and provides superior DC resistance performance (2Ohm Max), the current rating of 200 mA falls below the original specification of 240 mA. This part is suitable only for applications where the actual operating current does not exceed 200 mA. The inductance tolerance is wider (±30% vs. ±20%), and the operating temperature range is narrower (-40°C ~ 125°C). Physical dimensions are smaller (5.80mm × 5.80mm × 3.00mm), which may require PCB layout verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B82462G4334M000 directly replace the ELL-6SH331M without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The B82462G4334M000 meets or exceeds all critical electrical parameters: identical 330 µH inductance at 100 kHz, higher current rating (270 mA vs. 240 mA), and lower DC resistance (2.3Ohm Max vs. 2.7Ohm). Physical dimensions are compatible with standard PCB layouts. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Is the SRR5028-331Y suitable for all applications using the ELL-6SH331M?

A: No. The SRR5028-331Y current rating of 200 mA is below the original 240 mA specification. This substitute is only appropriate for circuits where the actual operating current does not exceed 200 mA. Verify circuit current requirements before selection.

Q: What are the key differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: The ELL-6SH331M measures 6.40mm × 6.00mm × 3.30mm (max height). The B82462G4334M000 is 6.30mm × 6.30mm × 3.00mm, and the SRR5028-331Y is 5.80mm × 5.80mm × 3.00mm. All three are compatible with standard nonstandard SMD footprints, though PCB layout verification is recommended for the smaller SRR5028-331Y.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. Both B82462G4334M000 and SRR5028-331Y are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original ELL-6SH331M specifications.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature ranges?

A: The B82462G4334M000 operates from -55°C to 150°C, providing the widest temperature range. The SRR5028-331Y operates from -40°C to 125°C. The original ELL-6SH331M operating temperature is not specified. Select based on your application's thermal requirements.

Q: Are these parts available in tape and reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original ELL-6SH331M packaging format is not specified.
