IMC0402ER22NJ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMC0402ER22NJ is a 22 nH unshielded ceramic core inductor in 0402 (1005 Metric) surface mount package, rated for 200 mA maximum current with 800mOhm maximum DC resistance. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part operates across -40°C to 100°C and maintains ROHS3 compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IMC0402ER22NJ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Must be 22 nH ±5% tolerance
• Package / Case: Must be 0402 (1005 Metric) surface mount
• Physical Dimensions: Must match 0.039" L x 0.022" W (1.00mm x 0.55mm) with maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm)
• Shielding Configuration: Must be unshielded
• Compliance Standards: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The substitute part IMC0402ER22NJ01 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While this part offers enhanced electrical performance characteristics (higher current rating, lower DC resistance, improved Q factor), these represent improvements over the original specification rather than deviations, making it a direct functional substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IMC0402ER22NJ01 is the direct substitute for the obsolete IMC0402ER22NJ. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain identical inductance values, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (889 Pcs New Original In Stock).

Selection of IMC0402ER22NJ01 is supported by:

• Identical 0402 (1005 Metric) package footprint and PCB land pattern compatibility
• Matching inductance specification of 22 nH ±5%
• Equivalent unshielded ceramic core construction
• Full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 100°C)
• Active product status ensuring long-term supply chain availability

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IMC0402ER22NJ01 be used as a direct replacement for IMC0402ER22NJ in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance values (22 nH ±5%), package dimensions (0402 / 1005 Metric), and physical footprints. PCB layout and component placement require no modification.

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

A: The substitute part IMC0402ER22NJ01 offers improved electrical performance: 400 mA current rating versus 200 mA, 300mOhm maximum DC resistance versus 800mOhm, and extended operating temperature range to 125°C. These represent enhancements that do not compromise backward compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: IMC0402ER22NJ01 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for surface mount component distribution and automated assembly processes.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: The IMC0402ER22NJ has been superseded by the IMC0402ER22NJ01, which offers superior electrical characteristics while maintaining full backward compatibility. The substitute part is the current production equivalent.
