Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LB2016T150M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Inductance value: 15 µH (exact match required)
• Current rating: 130 mA (minimum threshold)
• DC resistance: 700mOhm (exact match required)
• Inductance tolerance: ±20% (matching specification)
• Self resonant frequency: 28 MHz (exact match required)

Mechanical & Package Parameters:

• Package designation: 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount
• Core type: Ferrite wirewound
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.063" W (2.00mm x 1.60mm)
• Maximum seated height: 0.071" (1.80mm)

Compliance & Environmental Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Operating temperature range: minimum -25°C to 105°C

The substitute part LSQBA201616T150M meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications requiring the LB2016T150M specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LSQBA201616T150M is the direct substitute for the LB2016T150M based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and share identical inductance, current rating, DC resistance, package dimensions, and RoHS3 compliance status.

The LSQBA201616T150M offers the following advantages for component selection:

Operating Temperature Range: The LSQBA201616T150M extends the lower operating temperature limit to -40°C compared to the LB2016T150M at -25°C, providing enhanced performance in cold environment applications while maintaining the same upper limit of 105°C.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Packaging & Availability: The LSQBA201616T150M is supplied in Tape & Reel format with documented inventory availability, supporting production-scale deployment.

For applications currently using the LB2016T150M, direct substitution with LSQBA201616T150M is electrically and mechanically valid without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LSQBA201616T150M be used as a direct replacement for the LB2016T150M in existing designs?

A: Yes. The LSQBA201616T150M is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LB2016T150M. Both components have identical inductance (15 µH), current rating (130 mA), DC resistance (700mOhm), package dimensions (0806 / 2016 Metric), and core material (ferrite, unshielded). No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between these two parts?

A: The LB2016T150M operates from -25°C to 105°C, while the LSQBA201616T150M operates from -40°C to 105°C. The LSQBA201616T150M provides a 15°C lower temperature limit, making it suitable for applications requiring extended cold-temperature performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LB2016T150M and LSQBA201616T150M are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and manufacturing standards.

Q: Why is the LB2016T150M marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: The "Not For New Designs" designation indicates that Taiyo Yuden has transitioned this product to end-of-life status in favor of the active LSQBA201616T150M series. For new product development, the LSQBA201616T150M should be selected to ensure long-term supply continuity.

Q: Do these inductors have the same package footprint?

A: Yes. Both the LB2016T150M and LSQBA201616T150M use the 0806 (2016 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.063" W (2.00mm x 1.60mm) and maximum seated height of 0.071" (1.80mm). They are footprint-compatible on PCBs designed for either part number.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance for these parts?

A: Both the LB2016T150M and LSQBA201616T150M have an inductance tolerance of ±20%, meaning the actual inductance value will fall within the range of 12 µH to 18 µH at the specified test frequency of 2.52 MHz.

Q: Are there any differences in DC resistance between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical DC resistance of 700mOhm, ensuring equivalent power dissipation and thermal characteristics in circuit applications.
