P0502T Common Mode Choke Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P0502T is a 2-line common mode choke (CMC) designed for power line filtering applications in surface mount configurations. This component provides 14A current handling capacity with 8mOhm maximum DC resistance, operating across the temperature range of -40°C to 120°C. The P0502T is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The P0502NLT qualifies as a direct substitute for the P0502T based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Lines: Both parts feature 2-line configuration
• Current Rating: Both rated at 14A maximum
• DC Resistance: Both specify 8mOhm maximum DCR
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate -40°C to 120°C
• Mounting Type: Both are surface mount components
• Physical Dimensions: Identical footprint (1.220" L x 1.000" W, 0.500" max height)
• Package / Case: Both use Horizontal, 4 PC Pad configuration
• Filter Type: Both classified as power line filters

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0502NLT is the active equivalent for the obsolete P0502T. Both components share identical electrical specifications (14A current rating, 8mOhm DCR) and mechanical dimensions, ensuring direct functional compatibility in power line filtering applications.

The P0502NLT offers the following advantages for new designs and ongoing procurement:

• Active Product Status: Ensures long-term availability and manufacturing support
• ROHS3 Compliance: Meets current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the P0502T is RoHS non-compliant
• Tape & Reel Packaging: Supports automated assembly processes and higher-volume production workflows
• Inventory Availability: 20,276 units in stock compared to 830 units for the obsolete P0502T

For applications currently using the P0502T, transition to the P0502NLT is supported by matching electrical performance and identical PCB footprint requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P0502NLT directly replace the P0502T in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (14A, 8mOhm DCR), operating temperature range (-40°C to 120°C), and physical dimensions (1.220" L x 1.000" W x 0.500" max height). The PCB footprint and mounting configuration are identical, enabling direct substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the P0502T and P0502NLT?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The P0502T is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the P0502NLT is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Packaging also differs: P0502T is supplied in bulk, while P0502NLT is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Why is the P0502T classified as obsolete?

A: The P0502T has been superseded by the P0502NLT, which offers improved compliance status and active manufacturing support. The obsolete designation indicates that the manufacturer no longer actively produces this variant.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the P0502T and P0502NLT are specified with identical electrical parameters: 2-line configuration, 14A maximum current rating, 8mOhm maximum DC resistance, and -40°C to 120°C operating temperature range.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The P0502T is supplied in bulk packaging. The P0502NLT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Is the P0502NLT suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The P0502NLT is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and full manufacturing support, making it the appropriate choice for new designs requiring a 2-line, 14A common mode choke for power line filtering.
