Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of PE-0402CD3N6JTG is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 3.6 nH with ±5% tolerance
• Current rating: 840 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 66 mOhm maximum
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric) surface mount
• Core material and type: Ceramic drum core, wirewound, unshielded
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Frequency characteristics: Q @ 250 MHz and self-resonant frequency

The substitute PE-0402CD3N6JTT meets all electrical and mechanical parameters identically. The primary distinction is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (Active versus Obsolete).
