Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HC2-6R0-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Inductance value: 6 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±20%
• Current rating: 17 A minimum
• Saturation current (Isat): 16.5 A minimum
• DC resistance: 4.6 mOhm maximum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Package classification: Nonstandard

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance required
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8504.50.4000

The HC2LP-6R0-R qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical specifications, operating temperature range, mounting type, and regulatory compliance requirements. The substitute part maintains identical inductance, current rating, saturation current, and DC resistance specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HC2LP-6R0-R is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete HC2-6R0-R. Selection of the HC2LP-6R0-R is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The HC2LP-6R0-R maintains active product status with Eaton - Electronics Division, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The HC2-6R0-R is classified as obsolete, making the HC2LP-6R0-R the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters are identical between the two parts: 6 µH inductance at ±20% tolerance, 17 A current rating, 16.5 A saturation current, and 4.6 mOhm maximum DC resistance. Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and are tested at 300 kHz.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The HC2LP-6R0-R carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.4000) classifications.

Physical Compatibility: The HC2LP-6R0-R features a lower seated height of 0.440" (11.18mm) compared to the HC2-6R0-R at 0.500" (12.70mm), providing improved board-level design flexibility. Lateral dimensions are functionally equivalent, with the substitute measuring 0.756" x 0.756" versus 0.756" x 0.748" for the original part.

Packaging and Availability: The HC2LP-6R0-R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 2200 pieces in current inventory, compared to 735 pieces available for the obsolete HC2-6R0-R.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HC2LP-6R0-R be used as a direct replacement for the HC2-6R0-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HC2LP-6R0-R is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the HC2-6R0-R across all critical parameters: inductance (6 µH ±20%), current rating (17 A), saturation current (16.5 A), DC resistance (4.6 mOhm maximum), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Both components are unshielded surface mount inductors with identical test frequency (300 kHz) and regulatory compliance.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these two parts?

A: The HC2LP-6R0-R has a lower seated height of 0.440" (11.18mm) compared to the HC2-6R0-R at 0.500" (12.70mm). Lateral dimensions are functionally equivalent: HC2LP-6R0-R measures 0.756" L x 0.756" W (19.20mm x 19.20mm), while the HC2-6R0-R measures 0.756" L x 0.748" W (19.20mm x 19.00mm). The reduced height of the substitute part may provide design advantages in space-constrained applications.

Q: Are there any differences in core material between these inductors?

A: The HC2-6R0-R core material is not specified in the available documentation. The HC2LP-6R0-R uses a ferrite drum core construction. Both parts are classified as wirewound inductors and deliver identical electrical performance across the specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the difference in product status, and why does it matter?

A: The HC2-6R0-R is classified as obsolete, while the HC2LP-6R0-R is active. Active product status ensures continued manufacturing, availability, and supply chain support. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the HC2LP-6R0-R is the appropriate selection to avoid future obsolescence issues.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The HC2-6R0-R is RoHS Compliant. The HC2LP-6R0-R carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.4000) classifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the HC2LP-6R0-R?

A: The HC2LP-6R0-R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated assembly processes. This packaging format supports high-volume production environments and provides improved component protection during storage and handling.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the HC2-6R0-R and HC2LP-6R0-R carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: What inventory levels are currently available?

A: The HC2LP-6R0-R has 2200 pieces in current inventory, compared to 735 pieces available for the obsolete HC2-6R0-R. The higher inventory level of the active substitute part supports reliable procurement for production requirements.
