Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MLF1608DR82M are qualified based on the following criteria:

Inductance value must match at 820 nH with tolerance specifications that encompass the original ±20% tolerance band. Package and case designation must be identical (0603 / 1608 Metric) to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility on printed circuit boards. Shielding type must remain shielded to maintain electromagnetic isolation. Core material must be ferrite to preserve frequency response characteristics. DC resistance must not exceed 1.4 Ohm maximum to maintain circuit performance. Current rating must meet or exceed 70 mA minimum. Mounting type must be surface mount. Operating temperature range must support the application environment. RoHS and REACH compliance status must align with regulatory requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CS160808-R82K from Bourns Inc. qualifies as a direct substitute for the MLF1608DR82M. Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The Bourns part offers improved inductance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), higher current rating (100 mA versus 70 mA), and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Electrical parameters including inductance value, DC resistance, shielding, core material, and package dimensions are identical. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for temperature range and current margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CS160808-R82K replace MLF1608DR82M in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (820 nH), DC resistance (1.4 Ohm max), package dimensions (0603 / 1608 Metric), and shielding characteristics. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The Bourns CS160808-R82K provides tighter inductance tolerance (±10% vs ±20%), higher current rating (100 mA vs 70 mA), and wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs -40°C to 85°C). DC resistance and inductance value remain identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The MLF1608DR82M operates to 85°C maximum. The CS160808-R82K extends to 125°C, making it suitable for higher temperature environments. Application requirements determine which part is appropriate.

Q: Do package dimensions differ between these inductors?

A: No. Both parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and 0.037" maximum seated height (0.95mm).

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both MLF1608DR82M and CS160808-R82K are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For standard operating conditions within -40°C to 85°C, either part is suitable. For applications requiring higher current margin or extended temperature range, the Bourns CS160808-R82K is preferred.
