Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SDR1006-181KL from Bourns Inc. qualifies as a substitute for the PD104R-184K based on the following alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

  • Inductance: 180 µH (identical)
  • Inductance Tolerance: ±10% (identical)
  • DC Resistance: 630 mOhm Max (identical)
  • Core Type: Ferrite Drum Core, Unshielded (identical)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (identical)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C (overlapping upper range)
  • RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

Differing Parameters:

  • Current Rating: SDR1006-181KL rated at 720 mA versus 570 mA for PD104R-184K (higher rating provides design margin)
  • Physical Dimensions: SDR1006-181KL measures 9.80mm × 9.80mm × 5.80mm versus 9.80mm × 8.79mm × 4.00mm for PD104R-184K (larger footprint)
  • Operating Temperature Minimum: SDR1006-181KL operates to -40°C versus -55°C for PD104R-184K (narrower low-temperature range)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PD104R-184K and SDR1006-181KL are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications where the specified electrical parameters are met.

The SDR1006-181KL provides a higher current rating of 720 mA compared to the 570 mA rating of the PD104R-184K, offering additional design margin in current-limited applications. However, the SDR1006-181KL has a larger physical footprint (9.80mm × 9.80mm × 5.80mm versus 9.80mm × 8.79mm × 4.00mm) and a narrower low-temperature operating range (-40°C minimum versus -55°C minimum).

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific constraints: space-constrained designs or applications requiring operation below -40°C favor the PD104R-184K, while designs benefiting from higher current capacity and available inventory favor the SDR1006-181KL.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SDR1006-181KL directly replace the PD104R-184K in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application does not require operation below -40°C and the larger physical dimensions (9.80mm × 9.80mm × 5.80mm) fit within the available PCB space. The identical inductance, tolerance, and DC resistance ensure electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the SDR1006-181KL?

A: The SDR1006-181KL is rated for 720 mA continuous current versus 570 mA for the PD104R-184K. This higher rating indicates greater thermal margin and saturation headroom, beneficial in applications approaching the original part's current limits.

Q: Are there physical footprint considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Yes. The SDR1006-181KL measures 9.80mm × 9.80mm with a seated height of 5.80mm, compared to the PD104R-184K at 9.80mm × 8.79mm with a seated height of 4.00mm. PCB layout and component clearance must accommodate the larger dimensions.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8504.50.4000.

Q: What is the inductance test frequency for these components?

A: Both parts are tested at 1 kHz for inductance measurement, ensuring consistent specification reference across the product line.
