Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PE-53606NL qualifies as a direct substitute for the PE-53606 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Inductance value: 114 µH (exact match required)
• Current rating: 940 mA (exact match required)
• DC resistance: 405 mOhm Max (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.440" L x 0.435" W, 0.360" height (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 130°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount, nonstandard package (exact match required)

The PE-53606NL maintains all electrical specifications and physical form factor of the original part while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-53606NL is the appropriate selection for new designs and procurement activities. While the PE-53606 remains functionally equivalent in electrical and mechanical specifications, its obsolete status limits availability and support. The PE-53606NL offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance satisfies current regulatory requirements, whereas the PE-53606 is RoHS non-compliant
• Tube packaging provides standard handling and storage compatibility
• Identical electrical performance and physical form factor enable direct substitution in existing designs

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term component availability, PE-53606NL is the specified choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-53606NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-53606 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The PE-53606NL maintains identical inductance (114 µH), current rating (940 mA), DC resistance (405 mOhm Max), physical dimensions (0.440" L x 0.435" W, 0.360" height), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 130°C). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between PE-53606 and PE-53606NL?

A: The PE-53606NL is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance and tube packaging. The PE-53606 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The PE-53606 uses nonstandard packaging, while PE-53606NL is supplied in tube packaging. Both maintain the same component dimensions and mounting characteristics.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: PE-53606NL should be specified for all new designs. The PE-53606 is obsolete and should not be used for new applications.

Q: Is the operating temperature range identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the same temperature range of -40°C to 130°C.
