NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD is a 1.5 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by TDK Corporation, rated for 830 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 143 mOhm. This surface mount component in 1210 (3225 Metric) package is designed for applications requiring stable inductance across the specified frequency range with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

The NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD carries a "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating that TDK has transitioned this series to newer alternatives. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and access components with active manufacturing status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD are identified based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

• Inductance Value: 1.5 µH (exact match required)
• Current Rating: Minimum 830 mA (equal or higher acceptable)
• DC Resistance: Maximum 143 mOhm (lower or equal acceptable)
• Core Material: Ferrite, unshielded drum core
• Mounting Type: Surface mount
• Package Footprint: 1210 (3225 Metric) physical dimensions
• Frequency Characteristics: Self-resonant frequency and Q factor stability
• Compliance: AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with documented electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NLCV32T-1R5M-EFD is the primary recommended substitute. This part is manufactured by TDK Corporation, the same original manufacturer as the NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD, and belongs to the NLCV series family with active product status. It maintains identical electrical specifications (1.5 µH inductance, 830 mA current rating, 143 mOhm DCR) and physical dimensions. The EFD variant represents TDK's current production alternative to the discontinued PFD series, ensuring design compatibility with equivalent performance characteristics and full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

B82422H1152K000 is an alternative substitute manufactured by EPCOS (TDK Electronics). This part meets the core electrical requirements with 1.5 µH inductance and exceeds current rating specifications at 900 mA. The DCR is marginally lower at 140 mOhm maximum. The B82422H1152K000 offers tighter inductance tolerance (±10% versus ±20%) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). However, the package designation differs (2-SMD, J-Lead versus 1210 standard), and the self-resonant frequency is higher at 110 MHz. Physical footprint dimensions remain compatible at 3.20mm x 2.50mm x 2.40mm maximum height.

Both substitutes carry active product status, full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NLCV32T-1R5M-EFD be used as a direct replacement for NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD?

A: Yes. The NLCV32T-1R5M-EFD is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD. Both parts share identical inductance (1.5 µH), current rating (830 mA), DC resistance (143 mOhm maximum), physical dimensions (3.20mm x 2.50mm x 2.40mm), and package footprint (1210 / 3225 Metric). The EFD variant is TDK's active production series replacement for the discontinued PFD series.

Q: What are the key differences between NLCV32T-1R5M-EFD and B82422H1152K000?

A: Both parts meet the 1.5 µH inductance and 830 mA minimum current requirements. The B82422H1152K000 offers higher current capacity (900 mA), lower DC resistance (140 mOhm), tighter inductance tolerance (±10%), and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). The package designation differs (2-SMD, J-Lead versus standard 1210), and the self-resonant frequency is higher (110 MHz versus 80 MHz). Physical footprint dimensions are compatible.

Q: Are both substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. Both NLCV32T-1R5M-EFD and B82422H1152K000 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings, matching the original NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD specification.

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

A: PFD and EFD are TDK series identifiers within the NLCV inductor family. The EFD series represents the current active production line, while the PFD series has been transitioned to "Not For New Designs" status. Both series maintain compatible electrical and mechanical specifications for the 1.5 µH 830 mA rating.

Q: Can B82422H1152K000 be used in applications requiring the exact -40°C ~ 105°C temperature range?

A: Yes. The B82422H1152K000 operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 150°C encompasses the -40°C ~ 105°C specification of the original part. The extended range provides additional thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts (NLCV32T-1R5M-PFD, NLCV32T-1R5M-EFD, and B82422H1152K000) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and hold AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.
