PE-62897 Common Mode Choke Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE-62897 is a 2 mH common mode choke (CMC) designed for power line filtering applications with a 2-line configuration and 7.5A current rating. This through-hole mounted component features a 20mOhm maximum DC resistance and operates across the -40°C to 125°C temperature range. The PE-62897 is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PE-62897 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 2 mH @ 1 kHz
• Current rating: 7.5A maximum
• DC resistance: 20mOhm maximum
• Number of lines: 2-line configuration
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Physical dimensions: 1.500" L x 1.500" W, 0.810" maximum height
• Package configuration: Horizontal, 4 PC pin

The PE-62897NL meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer (Pulse Electronics) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-62897NL is the direct substitute for the obsolete PE-62897. Both components are manufactured by Pulse Electronics and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The primary distinction is product status: PE-62897NL is active production, whereas PE-62897 is obsolete.

For new designs and ongoing system support, PE-62897NL is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the advantage of active manufacturer support and current availability.

The PE-62897NL achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original PE-62897 does not. This compliance improvement may be relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-62897NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-62897?

A: Yes. PE-62897NL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to PE-62897. Both components feature identical inductance (2 mH @ 1 kHz), current rating (7.5A), DC resistance (20mOhm), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), and physical dimensions (1.500" L x 1.500" W, 0.810" height). The through-hole mounting configuration and 4-pin horizontal package are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from PE-62897 to PE-62897NL?

A: PE-62897 is classified as obsolete, while PE-62897NL is in active production. PE-62897NL ensures continued availability, manufacturer support, and compliance with current regulatory standards including RoHS.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. PE-62897 is supplied in bulk packaging, while PE-62897NL is supplied in tray packaging. Both configurations are compatible with standard through-hole assembly processes. Tray packaging may offer advantages for automated handling and inventory management.

Q: Do the RoHS compliance differences affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status does not alter electrical or thermal performance. The difference reflects manufacturing process compliance with environmental regulations. PE-62897NL's RoHS compliance may be required for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Are the HTSUS codes identical?

A: No. PE-62897 carries HTSUS code 8504.50.4000, while PE-62897NL carries HTSUS code 8548.00.0000. This difference reflects tariff classification updates and does not affect component functionality or compatibility.
