Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HK16082N2S-T is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 2.2 nH with ±0.3 nH tolerance
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) form factor
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Physical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60 mm x 0.80 mm)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: Equal to or greater than 300 mA
• DC Resistance (DCR): Equal to or less than 100 mOhm
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or wider than -40°C to 85°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Substitute parts must maintain identical inductance specifications and package dimensions while permitting improvements in current handling capability, DC resistance performance, and temperature operating range. All substitute candidates are unshielded multilayer inductors in the 0603 package with matching inductance values.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: BSCH001608082N2S00 (Pulse Electronics)

The BSCH001608082N2S00 is the preferred substitute for the HK16082N2S-T. This part maintains identical inductance specifications (2.2 nH ±0.3 nH) and DC resistance (100 mOhm Max) while offering enhanced current handling capability at 600 mA, double the original rating. The part is classified as Active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C, providing broader environmental compatibility. All mechanical and electrical parameters align with the original specification, with identical package dimensions and surface mount configuration. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained.

Secondary Substitute: L0603C2N2SRMST (KEMET)

The L0603C2N2SRMST provides an alternative with identical electrical performance to the original part: 2.2 nH inductance, 300 mA current rating, and 100 mOhm maximum DC resistance. This part demonstrates superior Q factor performance at 12 @ 100 MHz compared to the original 8 @ 100 MHz, and exhibits higher self-resonant frequency at 12 GHz. The part is classified as Obsolete, similar to the original component. Operating temperature range matches the original specification at -40°C to 85°C. Physical dimensions are comparable with minimal height variation (0.028" vs. 0.037" seated height). ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained.

Not Recommended: CI160808-2N2D (Bourns Inc.)

The CI160808-2N2D is classified as Not For New Designs and exhibits elevated DC resistance at 160 mOhm maximum, exceeding the original specification of 100 mOhm maximum. While current rating and inductance value match the original part, the increased DC resistance introduces performance degradation unsuitable for direct substitution. This part is not recommended for new applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BSCH001608082N2S00 be used as a direct replacement for the HK16082N2S-T?

A: Yes. The BSCH001608082N2S00 maintains identical inductance (2.2 nH ±0.3 nH), DC resistance (100 mOhm Max), and package dimensions (0603 / 1608 Metric). The increased current rating (600 mA vs. 300 mA) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C) provide enhanced performance margins. Surface mount configuration and unshielded design are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the 0603 (1608 Metric) package designation?

A: The 0603 package designation refers to imperial dimensions (0.060" x 0.030"), while 1608 Metric refers to the equivalent metric dimensions (1.60 mm x 0.80 mm). These designations are interchangeable and describe the same physical form factor. All substitute parts use this identical package, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the CI160808-2N2D not recommended despite matching inductance and current rating?

A: The CI160808-2N2D exhibits DC resistance of 160 mOhm maximum, which exceeds the original specification of 100 mOhm maximum. This 60% increase in DC resistance introduces additional power dissipation and thermal effects that deviate from the original design parameters. The part is also classified as Not For New Designs, limiting its suitability for ongoing applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed—BSCH001608082N2S00, CI160808-2N2D, and L0603C2N2SRMST—are ROHS3 compliant and maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the original HK16082N2S-T specifications.

Q: What is the difference between Ferrite and Ceramic core materials in these inductors?

A: The HK16082N2S-T uses a Ferrite core, while the substitute parts use Ceramic cores. Both materials are suitable for unshielded multilayer inductors in this inductance range. Ceramic core inductors typically exhibit higher self-resonant frequencies and improved Q factors at high frequencies, as demonstrated by the L0603C2N2SRMST (12 GHz SRF, Q=12) compared to the original part (6 GHz SRF, Q=8).

Q: Can these inductors be used interchangeably in RF and high-frequency applications?

A: Substitution in RF and high-frequency applications requires evaluation of self-resonant frequency (SRF) and Q factor specifications. The L0603C2N2SRMST offers superior high-frequency performance with 12 GHz SRF and Q=12, while the BSCH001608082N2S00 provides 7.2 GHz SRF with Q=8. Application-specific frequency requirements determine optimal part selection.

Q: What is the inventory status of available substitutes?

A: BSCH001608082N2S00 (Pulse Electronics) has 6,917 pieces in stock and is classified as Active. L0603C2N2SRMST (KEMET) has 4,835 pieces in stock but is classified as Obsolete. CI160808-2N2D (Bourns Inc.) has 883 pieces in stock and is classified as Not For New Designs. The original HK16082N2S-T has 60,972 pieces in stock but is classified as Obsolete.
