Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 1025R-32K replace the IM02EB3R3K in existing designs?
A: Yes. The 1025R-32K is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both components share identical inductance values, DC resistance, frequency characteristics, operating temperature ranges, and axial through-hole package dimensions.
Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?
A: The IM02EB3R3K is rated for 270 mA, while the 1025R-32K is rated for 285 mA. The higher current rating of the substitute part does not affect compatibility and provides additional design margin.
Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?
A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compliance is identical.
Q: Why is the IM02EB3R3K listed as obsolete?
A: The IM02EB3R3K has been discontinued by Vishay Dale. The 1025R-32K from API Delevan Inc. remains in active production with equivalent specifications.
Q: Will the 1025R-32K fit the same PCB footprint?
A: Yes. Both components use identical axial through-hole package dimensions of 0.095" diameter by 0.250" length (2.41mm x 6.35mm), ensuring direct board-level compatibility.
Q: Are the frequency characteristics the same?
A: Yes. Both parts exhibit Q of 45 @ 7.9MHz and a self-resonant frequency of 90MHz.
