ELL-6SH680M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELL-6SH680M is a 68 µH shielded wirewound inductor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated for 500 mA with a DC resistance of 520mOhm. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The part operates at 100 kHz inductance test frequency and is packaged in a nonstandard surface mount configuration compliant with ROHS3 standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ELL-6SH680M is determined by the following critical parameters: inductance value (68 µH), current rating capability, DC resistance characteristics, shielding requirement, and surface mount packaging. All substitute parts listed maintain the core inductance specification and shielding configuration. Substitutes are grouped based on their ability to meet or exceed the electrical performance envelope defined by the main part's 500 mA current rating and 520mOhm maximum DC resistance, while maintaining compatibility with the nonstandard surface mount package footprint and ROHS3 compliance requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—S3483R-680M, SPD62R-683M, and SRR5028-680Y—are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete ELL-6SH680M.

S3483R-680M maintains electrical parity with the original part, matching both the 500 mA current rating and 520mOhm DCR specification at 100 kHz test frequency. This part is the closest functional equivalent.

SPD62R-683M offers increased current capability (560 mA) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), though with elevated DCR (1.2Ohm Max). This part is suitable for applications requiring higher thermal performance.

SRR5028-680Y provides the lowest DCR (350mOhm Max) and highest current rating (620 mA) with the widest operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C). The ±30% inductance tolerance is wider than the original specification. This part is optimal for low-loss applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can S3483R-680M directly replace ELL-6SH680M? A: Yes. S3483R-680M matches the critical electrical parameters: 68 µH inductance, ±20% tolerance, 500 mA current rating, and 520mOhm DCR at 100 kHz test frequency. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the primary difference between SPD62R-683M and the original part? A: SPD62R-683M has higher DC resistance (1.2Ohm Max versus 520mOhm) and is tested at 1 kHz instead of 100 kHz. It provides higher current capability (560 mA) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: When should SRR5028-680Y be selected over other substitutes? A: SRR5028-680Y is selected when minimum DC resistance loss is critical. With 350mOhm Max DCR and 620 mA current rating, it reduces power dissipation. The wider inductance tolerance (±30%) must be acceptable for the application.

Q: Are all substitutes compatible with the original nonstandard surface mount package? A: All substitutes are surface mount components in nonstandard packages. Physical footprint verification is required, as dimensional specifications vary: ELL-6SH680M (6.40mm x 6.00mm x 3.30mm), S3483R-680M (7.20mm x 7.20mm x 4.60mm), SPD62R-683M (6.60mm x 6.20mm x 3.00mm), and SRR5028-680Y (5.80mm x 5.80mm x 3.00mm).

Q: Do all substitutes meet ROHS3 compliance? A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part's environmental specifications.
