NLCV32T-6R8M-EF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NLCV32T-6R8M-EF is a 6.8 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by TDK Corporation, rated for 530 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 351 mOhm. This surface mount component in 1210 (3225 Metric) package is designed for applications requiring fixed inductance values in compact form factors. The part is currently active in production and widely available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance can be maintained across critical parameters including inductance value, current rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range, while meeting the same or superior compliance standards.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the NLCV32T-6R8M-EF is determined by the following criteria:

• Inductance value must be 6.8 µH
• Package must be 1210 (3225 Metric) surface mount
• Current rating must meet or exceed 530 mA
• DC resistance must not exceed 351 mOhm
• Shielding configuration must be unshielded
• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -40°C ~ 105°C
• RoHS compliance status must be maintained

The WCLA3225V1-6R8-R from Eaton - Electronics Division meets these substitution criteria with improved electrical characteristics in several parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WCLA3225V1-6R8-R qualifies as a direct substitute for the NLCV32T-6R8M-EF based on matching inductance, package form factor, and unshielded configuration. The substitute part provides enhanced specifications including higher current rating (660 mA vs. 530 mA), lower DC resistance (300 mOhm vs. 351 mOhm), and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 105°C). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

The substitute part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding current headroom, temperature extremes, and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WCLA3225V1-6R8-R replace the NLCV32T-6R8M-EF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (6.8 µH), package dimensions (1210 / 3225 Metric), and unshielded configuration. The substitute part meets or exceeds all critical electrical parameters of the original part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two inductors?

A: The WCLA3225V1-6R8-R offers tighter inductance tolerance (±10% vs. ±20%), higher current rating (660 mA vs. 530 mA), lower DC resistance (300 mOhm vs. 351 mOhm), and wider operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 105°C). The original part has higher Q factor at 7.96 MHz (15 vs. 10).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use identical 1210 (3225 Metric) surface mount packaging. Physical dimensions are similar with negligible height differences (both 2.40 mm seated height maximum). The WCLA3225V1-6R8-R is supplied in Tape & Reel format while the NLCV32T-6R8M-EF is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). The substitute part additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8504.50.8000.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application-specific requirements. For applications requiring automotive qualification or extended temperature operation, the WCLA3225V1-6R8-R is appropriate. For applications with existing design validation on the NLCV32T-6R8M-EF, the original part maintains design continuity.
