IM02EB102K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IM02EB102K is a 1 mH unshielded molded inductor manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for through-hole axial mounting applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part delivers 28 mA current rating with 72 Ohm maximum DC resistance and operates across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range. Active equivalent models from API Delevan Inc. provide direct functional replacement with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IM02EB102K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: inductance value (1 mH), tolerance (±10%), current rating (28 mA), DC resistance (72 Ohm maximum), core material (ferrite), shielding configuration (unshielded), mounting type (through hole), package style (axial), and physical dimensions (0.095" Dia x 0.250" L). All identified substitute parts from API Delevan Inc. meet these requirements identically. Substitutes are grouped by packaging configuration: bulk packaging (1025R-92K) and tape & reel packaging (ER1025-92KM and ER1025-92KP). Electrical performance parameters including Q factor, self-resonant frequency, and operating temperature range remain constant across all substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, the 1025R-92K (bulk packaging) from API Delevan Inc. is the appropriate substitute, maintaining full regulatory alignment with the original IM02EB102K specification. This part is currently in active production status with 1060 units in stock inventory.

For high-volume production environments utilizing automated assembly processes, both ER1025-92KM and ER1025-92KP provide tape & reel packaging configurations. The ER1025-92KP variant is recommended as the primary active substitute, with 865 units currently available. The ER1025-92KM alternative offers 786 units in stock. Both tape & reel options carry RoHS non-compliant status; selection between these variants should be based on specific regulatory requirements and supply chain considerations.

All three substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and physical compatibility with the obsolete IM02EB102K, enabling direct board-level replacement without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1025R-92K, ER1025-92KM, and ER1025-92KP be used interchangeably with the IM02EB102K?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (1 mH inductance, 28 mA current rating, 72 Ohm DC resistance) and physical dimensions (0.095" Dia x 0.250" L axial package). Substitution is based on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance needs.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute options?

A: The primary differences are packaging configuration and RoHS compliance status. The 1025R-92K is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The ER1025-92KM and ER1025-92KP are supplied in tape & reel format for automated assembly but are RoHS non-compliant. Selection depends on assembly method and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the IM02EB102K and its substitutes?

A: No. All parts deliver identical Q factor (30 @ 790 kHz), self-resonant frequency (3.4 MHz), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). Electrical behavior in circuit applications remains unchanged.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For ROHS3-compliant applications, use 1025R-92K. For automated tape & reel assembly requiring RoHS compliance, no compliant tape & reel option exists among the listed substitutes. For non-compliant applications, ER1025-92KP is recommended based on current inventory availability (865 units).

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts share identical axial package dimensions of 0.095" Dia x 0.250" L (2.41 mm x 6.35 mm), ensuring direct board-level compatibility without PCB layout modifications.
