ISC1210SY5R6J Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ISC1210SY5R6J is a 5.6 µH shielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for surface mount applications in the 1210 (3225 Metric) package. This component operates at 210 mA maximum current with 1.4Ohm DC resistance and maintains active product status. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application constraints while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ISC1210SY5R6J is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 5.6 µH (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1210 (3225 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Current Rating: Minimum 200 mA acceptable (main part rated 210 mA)
• DC Resistance: Up to 1.6Ohm acceptable (main part 1.4Ohm Max)
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -40°C ~ 105°C acceptable (main part -55°C ~ 125°C)

The identified substitute parts NLV32T-5R6J-EF and NLV32T-5R6J-PF meet these substitution criteria. Both are manufactured by TDK Corporation with identical inductance, tolerance, and package specifications. The primary differences are core material composition (ferrite vs. iron powder), shielding configuration (unshielded vs. shielded), and operating temperature range, which represent trade-offs in specific application contexts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NLV32T-5R6J-EF is the primary substitute option. This part maintains active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, addressing regulatory requirements where the main part does not. The ferrite core and unshielded configuration differ from the iron powder shielded design of the ISC1210SY5R6J; these differences affect electromagnetic performance characteristics and EMI behavior. Current rating is reduced to 200 mA (10 mA lower than the main part), and operating temperature range is narrowed to -40°C ~ 105°C. Self-resonant frequency is 45MHz compared to 50MHz for the main part.

NLV32T-5R6J-PF is a secondary substitute option with identical electrical specifications to NLV32T-5R6J-EF but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This designation indicates the part is in mature or declining production phase and should not be selected for new circuit designs. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where the original design already incorporates this component.

Selection between the main part and substitutes depends on application-specific requirements: electromagnetic shielding needs, temperature operating range, current headroom, compliance certifications, and product lifecycle considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NLV32T-5R6J-EF directly replace ISC1210SY5R6J in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application does not require the shielded configuration of the ISC1210SY5R6J. The unshielded ferrite core of the NLV32T-5R6J-EF exhibits different electromagnetic coupling characteristics and may introduce or be susceptible to EMI in sensitive circuits. The 10 mA reduction in current rating and narrower temperature range must also be evaluated against circuit requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on NLV32T-5R6J-PF?

A: This designation indicates the part is no longer recommended for incorporation into new product designs. It may be subject to production discontinuation or reduced availability. NLV32T-5R6J-PF should be used only for replacement or repair of existing systems already using this component.

Q: How do the core materials affect performance?

A: The ISC1210SY5R6J uses iron powder core material with shielding, while both TDK substitutes use ferrite core material without shielding. Iron powder cores typically exhibit lower permeability loss and better high-frequency stability, while ferrite cores offer higher permeability and different saturation characteristics. Core material selection impacts frequency response, Q factor stability, and EMI performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The ISC1210SY5R6J is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while both NLV32T-5R6J-EF and NLV32T-5R6J-PF are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. These packaging formats affect handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but do not affect the component itself.

Q: What compliance differences exist?

A: The ISC1210SY5R6J is RoHS non-compliant, while both TDK substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the TDK parts satisfy compliance requirements. Both parts are REACH Affected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.
