PE-53803 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE-53803 is a 118 µH shielded toroidal inductor rated for 200 mA with 1.8Ω DC resistance, designed for through-hole mounting in radial, vertical corner terminal configuration. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The shielded design provides electromagnetic interference mitigation in compact form factor suitable for legacy circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PE-53803 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 118 µH (±20% tolerance acceptable)
• Current Rating: 200 mA minimum
• DC Resistance: 1.8Ω
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shielding Requirement: Shielded configuration preferred for EMI-sensitive applications
• Package Compatibility: Radial terminal configuration

Two substitute parts meet the core electrical specifications. PE-53803NL maintains identical shielding and electrical characteristics with improved product status and RoHS3 compliance. SH150T-0.20-118 provides electrical equivalence but differs in shielding type (unshielded) and mounting orientation, requiring circuit-level evaluation for EMI-critical applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PE-53803NL is the primary substitute for PE-53803. Both parts are manufactured by Pulse Electronics with identical electrical specifications, shielding characteristics, and physical dimensions. PE-53803NL offers active product status and RoHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs while maintaining full functional equivalence. Packaging format changes from bulk to tray configuration.

SH150T-0.20-118 provides electrical equivalence with identical inductance, current rating, and DC resistance values. However, this part differs in three critical aspects: unshielded construction (versus shielded), horizontal mounting orientation (versus vertical), and reduced maximum operating temperature (125°C versus 130°C). Selection of SH150T-0.20-118 requires verification that the application does not depend on shielding for EMI suppression and that the lower temperature rating is acceptable for the operating environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-53803NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-53803?

A: Yes. PE-53803NL is electrically and mechanically identical to PE-53803, with identical inductance (118 µH), current rating (200 mA), DC resistance (1.8Ω), shielding, and physical dimensions. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (RoHS3 compliant versus non-compliant).

Q: What are the key differences between PE-53803NL and SH150T-0.20-118?

A: Both parts share identical inductance, current rating, and DC resistance. SH150T-0.20-118 differs in three areas: shielding (unshielded versus shielded), mounting orientation (horizontal versus vertical corner terminals), and maximum operating temperature (125°C versus 130°C). The unshielded design may introduce EMI considerations in sensitive circuits.

Q: Is SH150T-0.20-118 suitable for all applications using PE-53803?

A: SH150T-0.20-118 is electrically equivalent but requires circuit-level evaluation. Applications dependent on shielded inductor performance for EMI suppression must use PE-53803NL. The horizontal mounting orientation and reduced temperature rating must also be verified against circuit board layout and thermal requirements.

Q: What is the impact of packaging format changes?

A: PE-53803 is supplied in bulk packaging, while PE-53803NL and SH150T-0.20-118 are supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: PE-53803NL and SH150T-0.20-118 are both RoHS3 compliant. The original PE-53803 is non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, PE-53803NL or SH150T-0.20-118 must be selected.
