Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 2.2 µH (exact match required)
• Inductance Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Current Rating: 730 mA (exact match required)
• DC Resistance: 324mOhm Max (exact match required)
• Core Type: Ferrite, Unshielded Drum Core, Wirewound (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1008 (2520 Metric) surface mount (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Electrical Performance: Q @ 7.96MHz and Self Resonant Frequency (exact match required)
• Compliance: AEC-Q200, RoHS3, MSL 1 (exact match required)

Only parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD meets all substitution requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD is the direct substitute for the NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD. Both parts are manufactured by TDK Corporation and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD is designated "Not For New Designs," while the NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD maintains "Active" status. This indicates the NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD represents the current production alternative within TDK's portfolio.

Both parts meet AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, confirming suitability for equivalent applications across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD be used as a direct replacement for the NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD?

A: Yes. The NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD is a direct substitute. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications are identical. The primary difference is product status: the substitute is actively produced by TDK Corporation.

Q: Are there any differences in performance between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts deliver identical inductance (2.2 µH), current rating (730 mA), DC resistance (324mOhm Max), Q factor (10 @ 7.96MHz), and self-resonant frequency (68MHz). Electrical and thermal performance are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1008 (2520 Metric) surface mount package with identical dimensions: 0.098" L x 0.079" W (2.50mm x 2.00mm) and maximum seated height of 0.075" (1.90mm).

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

A: This designation indicates the NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD has been superseded in TDK's active product line. For new designs, the NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD should be selected. Existing designs using the NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD may continue operation without modification.

Q: Are both parts qualified for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are suitable for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

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

A: The series designation reflects TDK's internal product line classification. The NLCV-PFD series (NLCV25T-2R2M-PFRD) represents an earlier product generation, while the NLCV-EFD series (NLCV25T-2R2M-EFRD) represents the current active generation. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.
