Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MGA06052R2M-10 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the allowed tolerances for this inductor category. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Inductance value must be 2.2 µH
• Continuous current rating must be ≥ 8 A
• Saturation current (Isat) must be ≥ 12 A
• DC resistance must not exceed 12.5 mOhm
• Shielding configuration must be unshielded

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type must be surface mount
• Package footprint must be compatible with PCB layout (maximum dimensions: 7.30mm L × 6.60mm W × 5.00mm H)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status must be maintained
• MSL rating must be ≤ 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part MPL-AL6050-2R2 meets all electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: MPL-AL6050-2R2

The MPL-AL6050-2R2 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MGA06052R2M-10 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute meets all electrical requirements with performance margins. The 2.2 µH inductance value is identical. The continuous current rating of 12 A exceeds the original 8 A requirement by 50%, and the saturation current of 15 A exceeds the original 12 A by 25%. The DC resistance of 8.3 mOhm is superior to the original 12.5 mOhm maximum, resulting in lower power dissipation and improved efficiency.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts are surface-mount inductors with identical maximum seated height of 5.00mm. The substitute footprint (6.60mm × 6.40mm) is slightly smaller than the original (7.30mm × 6.60mm), which provides layout flexibility and may reduce PCB area requirements.

Compliance and Availability: The MPL-AL6050-2R2 is ROHS3 compliant, exceeding the RoHS compliance of the original part. The substitute is in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1093 pcs), whereas the original part is obsolete. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.8000) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory and trade compliance.

Packaging Consideration: The original part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. This difference affects procurement volume requirements and handling procedures but does not impact component functionality or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPL-AL6050-2R2 be used as a direct replacement for the MGA06052R2M-10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute meets all critical electrical parameters (inductance, current rating, saturation current, and DC resistance) and mechanical parameters (surface mount, height, shielding configuration). The slightly smaller footprint (6.60mm × 6.40mm versus 7.30mm × 6.60mm) is compatible with PCB layouts designed for the original part.

Q: What are the advantages of using the MPL-AL6050-2R2 substitute?

A: The substitute offers three key advantages: (1) Active production status ensures long-term availability, (2) Superior DC resistance (8.3 mOhm versus 12.5 mOhm maximum) reduces power dissipation and improves circuit efficiency, and (3) Higher current ratings (12 A continuous and 15 A saturation versus 8 A and 12 A) provide additional design margin.

Q: Are there any disadvantages to using the substitute?

A: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging rather than Cut Tape (CT), which may require adjustment to procurement and assembly processes if smaller quantities are needed. The package designation differs (2-SMD versus Nonstandard), but physical dimensions and mounting compatibility remain equivalent.

Q: Does the substitute maintain the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. The MPL-AL6050-2R2 is ROHS3 compliant, which exceeds the RoHS compliance of the original part. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.8000) classifications. MSL ratings are identical at Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the operating temperature range of the substitute?

A: The MPL-AL6050-2R2 operates from -40°C to 155°C. The original part's operating temperature range was not specified in the available documentation.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when switching to the substitute?

A: The substitute has a slightly smaller footprint (6.60mm × 6.40mm versus 7.30mm × 6.60mm). Existing PCB layouts designed for the original part will accommodate the substitute without modification. The identical maximum seated height (5.00mm) ensures clearance compatibility.

Q: How should the packaging change from Cut Tape to Tape & Reel be managed?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly. If Cut Tape packaging is required for low-volume or manual assembly operations, consult with the supplier regarding packaging options or consider alternative sourcing arrangements.
