Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the L0806C6R8MPWST is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 6.8 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±20%
• Package / Case: 0806 (2016 Metric)
• Core type: Ferrite drum core
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C
• Self-resonant frequency: 38 MHz

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 175 mA
• DC resistance: Substitute may vary within circuit design tolerances
• RoHS and MSL compliance: Substitute must maintain or exceed compliance level

The CBC2016T6R8M from Taiyo Yuden satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and provides enhanced current rating capability (450 mA versus 175 mA), making it a valid substitute for applications requiring equal or lower current draw.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CBC2016T6R8M (Taiyo Yuden) is a direct functional substitute for the L0806C6R8MPWST. Both components share identical inductance values, package dimensions, core materials, and operating temperature specifications. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings.

The CBC2016T6R8M provides a higher current rating (450 mA saturation current versus 175 mA for the original part), which ensures compatibility with existing circuit designs operating at or below the original 175 mA specification. The increased DC resistance (767 mOhm maximum versus 350 mOhm) must be evaluated within the context of the specific application to confirm acceptable power dissipation and circuit performance.

The CBC2016T6R8M carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating limited long-term availability. For new design implementations, consultation with component suppliers for current-generation 6.8 µH 0806 package inductors with equivalent electrical specifications is advised.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CBC2016T6R8M replace the L0806C6R8MPWST in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance values (6.8 µH), package dimensions (0806 / 2016 Metric), core materials (ferrite drum core), and operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 105°C). The CBC2016T6R8M provides higher current rating capability, making it suitable for applications operating at or below the original 175 mA specification.

Q: What is the impact of the higher DC resistance in the CBC2016T6R8M?

A: The CBC2016T6R8M exhibits a maximum DC resistance of 767 mOhm compared to 350 mOhm in the L0806C6R8MPWST. This difference results in increased power dissipation at equivalent current levels. Circuit designers must verify that the increased resistive losses remain within acceptable limits for the target application.

Q: Are both parts physically compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both components use the 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.063" W (2.00mm x 1.60mm) and maximum seated height of 0.071" (1.80mm). PCB footprints designed for the L0806C6R8MPWST accommodate the CBC2016T6R8M without modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the L0806C6R8MPWST and CBC2016T6R8M are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are suitable for applications requiring these compliance certifications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The L0806C6R8MPWST is marked Obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The CBC2016T6R8M is marked "Not For New Designs," indicating restricted availability and potential future discontinuation. For long-term supply chain planning, identification of current-generation alternatives is recommended.
