HC2-6R0TR-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HC2-6R0TR-R is a 6 µH unshielded wirewound inductor manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, rated for 17 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 4.6 mOhm. This surface mount component operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and is specified for inductance testing at 300 kHz.

The HC2-6R0TR-R carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this inductor specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HC2-6R0TR-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• 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
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Inductance test frequency: 300 kHz

Substitute parts must satisfy all mandatory parameters to ensure functional and electrical compatibility within the original application circuit. Variations in core material, package dimensions, or product status do not disqualify a part if all electrical specifications are met or exceeded.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HC2LP-6R0-R qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete HC2-6R0TR-R based on complete electrical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical inductance, current rating, saturation current, DC resistance, operating temperature range, and test frequency specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The HC2-6R0TR-R is classified as obsolete, while the HC2LP-6R0-R maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (2200 pieces in stock versus 948 pieces for the main part). This status differential supports the HC2LP-6R0-R as the preferred long-term supply solution.

Compliance Status: The HC2LP-6R0-R carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing a more current regulatory standard than the RoHS compliance of the HC2-6R0TR-R. Both components are classified as EAR99 and share identical HTSUS codes.

Physical Dimensions: The HC2LP-6R0-R exhibits a maximum seated height of 0.440" (11.18mm) compared to 0.500" (12.70mm) for the HC2-6R0TR-R. Lateral dimensions are nominally equivalent with minor width variation (0.756" versus 0.748"). PCB layout and clearance verification is required to confirm accommodation of the substitute part within the original assembly footprint.

Core Material: The HC2LP-6R0-R incorporates a ferrite drum core construction, whereas the HC2-6R0TR-R core material is not specified. This material difference does not affect electrical performance given identical electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HC2LP-6R0-R be used as a direct replacement for the HC2-6R0TR-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HC2LP-6R0-R meets all mandatory electrical specifications: 6 µH inductance at ±20% tolerance, 17 A current rating, 16.5 A saturation current, and 4.6 mOhm maximum DC resistance. Operating temperature range, shielding configuration, and test frequency are identical. Physical dimensions require verification for PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from HC2-6R0TR-R to HC2LP-6R0-R?

A: The HC2-6R0TR-R is classified as obsolete. The HC2LP-6R0-R is an active product with higher inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity and supporting long-term production requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints that would prevent substitution?

A: The HC2LP-6R0-R is 0.060" (1.52mm) shorter in seated height and 0.008" (0.20mm) wider than the HC2-6R0TR-R. PCB layout, component clearance, and thermal management considerations must be evaluated for the specific application. Mechanical fit verification is required before implementation.

Q: Do both parts share the same packaging format?

A: The HC2-6R0TR-R packaging is listed as nonstandard without specified tape and reel designation. The HC2LP-6R0-R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Confirm packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and procurement requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant and classified as EAR99 export control items. The HC2LP-6R0-R carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory alignment. Both share HTSUS code 8504.50.4000. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.

Q: Is core material composition a factor in substitution eligibility?

A: No. While the HC2LP-6R0-R specifies ferrite drum core construction and the HC2-6R0TR-R core material is unspecified, electrical performance is determined by the specified inductance, current rating, and DC resistance values. Both parts meet identical electrical requirements.
