Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MLF2012DR82MT is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 820 nH (core functional requirement)
• Current Rating: 150 mA minimum
• DC Resistance: 650mOhm maximum
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (mechanical compatibility requirement)
• Shielding: Shielded (electromagnetic performance requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

The MLF2012DR82KT000 meets all substitution criteria. While it features a tighter inductance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%), this represents an improvement in specification and does not preclude substitution. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics at the specified operating conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MLF2012DR82KT000 is the direct equivalent for the MLF2012DR82MT. The primary distinction is product status: MLF2012DR82MT is classified as "Not For New Designs," while MLF2012DR82KT000 maintains "Active" status. For applications requiring ongoing component availability and manufacturer support, MLF2012DR82KT000 is the appropriate selection. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility across applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MLF2012DR82KT000 be used as a direct replacement for MLF2012DR82MT in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (820 nH inductance, 150 mA current rating, 650mOhm maximum DC resistance) and mechanical dimensions (0805 package, 2.00mm x 1.25mm). The tighter inductance tolerance of MLF2012DR82KT000 (±10% versus ±20%) represents an improvement and does not introduce compatibility issues.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on MLF2012DR82MT?

A: This designation indicates that TDK Corporation is not recommending this part for new circuit designs. MLF2012DR82KT000, with "Active" status, is the recommended alternative for new applications and ongoing production.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W, 2.00mm x 1.25mm) and maximum seated height (0.057" / 1.45mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both MLF2012DR82MT and MLF2012DR82KT000 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental requirements are identical.

Q: What is the difference in inductance tolerance between these parts?

A: MLF2012DR82MT specifies ±20% tolerance, while MLF2012DR82KT000 specifies ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of MLF2012DR82KT000 provides greater inductance value consistency and is suitable for applications requiring higher precision.
