Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the NF13AA0600M is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 60 Ohms (primary functional requirement)
• Tolerance: ±20% (acceptable variance range)
• Steady-state current rating: minimum 1.9 A (must meet or exceed)
• Resistance at current: operational characteristic within acceptable range

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Physical diameter and lead spacing must accommodate existing PCB layouts
• Packaging format must be compatible with assembly processes

The SL15 60002 meets all electrical requirements with equivalent 60 Ohm resistance and ±20% tolerance. The steady-state current rating of 2 A exceeds the original 1.9 A requirement. Mechanical dimensions differ (0.630" diameter vs. 0.512" original), requiring PCB layout verification for physical fit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SL15 60002 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the NF13AA0600M. Both components share identical electrical specifications (60 Ohms, ±20% tolerance) and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings. The SL15 60002 provides superior steady-state current capacity (2 A vs. 1.9 A), ensuring adequate performance margin in inrush current limiting applications.

The SL15 60002 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs. The original NF13AA0600M, classified as obsolete, presents supply chain risk for ongoing production.

Physical dimensions differ between the two components. The SL15 60002 features a larger diameter (0.630" vs. 0.512") and slightly increased lead spacing (0.307" vs. 0.300"). PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical compatibility in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SL15 60002 directly replace the NF13AA0600M in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on matching 60 Ohm resistance, ±20% tolerance, and exceeding the 1.9 A steady-state requirement. Mechanical compatibility requires PCB layout verification due to increased component diameter and lead spacing.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Resistance value (60 Ohms), tolerance (±20%), and steady-state current rating (minimum 1.9 A) are the primary criteria. The SL15 60002 meets all electrical requirements.

Q: Why is the NF13AA0600M classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the component is no longer manufactured or supported by KYOCERA AVX. The SL15 60002 provides an active, supported alternative.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two components?

A: The original NF13AA0600M is RoHS non-compliant. The SL15 60002 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing in regulated markets.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the SL15 60002?

A: The SL15 60002 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly processes.
