NLCV25T-100K-PFD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NLCV25T-100K-PFD is a 10 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by TDK Corporation, rated for 210 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 2.19Ohm. This surface mount component is packaged in 1008 (2520 Metric) form factor and is compliant with AEC-Q200 automotive standards.

The NLCV25T-100K-PFD carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating that TDK has discontinued active development for this variant. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production requirements for existing applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the NLCV25T-100K-PFD are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TDK NLCV series. The substitution criteria are:

• Inductance value: 10 µH (exact match)
• Inductance tolerance: ±10% (exact match)
• Current rating: 210 mA (exact match)
• DC resistance: 2.19Ohm Max (exact match)
• Core type: Drum core, wirewound, ferrite, unshielded (exact match)
• Package: 1008 (2520 Metric) (exact match)
• Mounting type: Surface mount (exact match)
• Operating temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match)
• Q factor and self-resonant frequency: 30 @ 2.52MHz and 32MHz respectively (exact match)
• Compliance: AEC-Q200, ROHS3, MSL 1 (exact match)

The NLCV25T-100K-EFD qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status from the same manufacturer series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NLCV25T-100K-EFD is the qualified substitute for the NLCV25T-100K-PFD. Both components are manufactured by TDK Corporation and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the NLCV25T-100K-PFD is designated "Not For New Designs," while the NLCV25T-100K-EFD maintains "Active" status. This indicates that TDK continues to support, manufacture, and guarantee supply for the NLCV25T-100K-EFD variant.

Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring compatibility with regulated applications. The identical package footprint (1008 / 2520 Metric), thermal operating range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and electrical performance characteristics enable direct substitution without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NLCV25T-100K-EFD be used as a direct replacement for the NLCV25T-100K-PFD?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance (10 µH), current rating (210 mA), DC resistance (2.19Ohm Max), core construction, package dimensions, and thermal specifications. No circuit or layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between the PFD and EFD series designations?

A: The series designation reflects TDK's internal product line classification. The PFD variant has reached end-of-life status, while the EFD variant remains in active production. The electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the NLCV25T-100K-PFD and NLCV25T-100K-EFD carry AEC-Q200 qualification, confirming suitability for automotive-grade applications.

Q: Will the NLCV25T-100K-EFD fit the existing PCB layout designed for the NLCV25T-100K-PFD?

A: Yes. Both components use the identical 1008 (2520 Metric) package with matching footprint dimensions (0.098" L x 0.079" W, height 0.075" Max). No PCB redesign is necessary.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.
