LMMGA160808T600RG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LMMGA160808T600RG is a 0603 (1608 Metric) power line ferrite bead manufactured by Taiyo Yuden. This component provides 60 Ohms of impedance at 100 MHz with a maximum current rating of 3A and DC resistance of 25mOhm. The part is currently in active production status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when design revisions call for different supplier qualification. The following equivalent components maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution in power line filtering applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LMMGA160808T600RG is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Impedance: 60 Ohms @ 100 MHz
Current Rating: 3A maximum
DC Resistance: 25mOhm maximum
Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 125°C
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Filter Type: Power Line
Number of Lines: 1
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed below meet these electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and product status do not affect functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LSMGA160808T600RG (Taiyo Yuden) is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains active product status, identical electrical specifications, and the same Tape & Reel packaging format as the LMMGA160808T600RG. Both parts are from the same manufacturer and carry full ROHS3 compliance with unlimited MSL rating.

FBMH1608HM600-T (Taiyo Yuden) is functionally equivalent but carries a "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable for legacy system maintenance and repair applications where the original specification must be maintained. Packaging is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format, which may require process adjustments for automated assembly.

Z0603C600BPWZT (KEMET) is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is classified as obsolete. This part should be used only when existing inventory must be consumed or when legacy system compatibility is the primary requirement. Cut Tape packaging requires manual or semi-automated placement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LSMGA160808T600RG be used as a direct replacement for LMMGA160808T600RG?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (60 Ohms @ 100 MHz, 3A current rating, 25mOhm DCR), the same 0603 package, and equivalent operating temperature range. Both are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden and are ROHS3 compliant. The primary difference is the series designation (LSMG vs. LMMG), which does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape is supplied in shorter tape segments, typically used for lower-volume production or manual assembly. Both formats contain the same component; packaging format selection depends on assembly equipment and production volume requirements.

Q: Why is FBMH1608HM600-T marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that Taiyo Yuden is transitioning away from this part number in favor of newer alternatives. The part remains functionally equivalent and suitable for existing designs and maintenance applications, but new product designs should specify LMMGA160808T600RG or LSMGA160808T600RG instead.

Q: Can the KEMET Z0603C600BPWZT be used in new designs?

A: No. This part is classified as obsolete and should not be specified for new designs. It is suitable only for repair and maintenance of existing systems where original component compatibility is required. For new designs, use LMMGA160808T600RG or LSMGA160808T600RG.

Q: Are all listed substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) ratings, matching the environmental and regulatory specifications of the primary part.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the 0603 package?

A: The 0603 (1608 Metric) package measures 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with a maximum height of 0.035" (0.90mm). All listed substitutes use this identical package footprint and are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.
