Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PE-63385 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance: 1.5mH (exact match required)
• Turns Ratio: 1:1 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (physical compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.090" L x 0.750" W x 1.200" H maximum (footprint compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 70°C (minimum requirement)

The PE-63385NL meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer, with identical electrical specifications and physical form factor. The primary distinction is product status: PE-63385NL is active and available, whereas PE-63385 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-63385NL is the direct substitute for the obsolete PE-63385. Both components share identical electrical specifications (1.5mH inductance, 1:1 turns ratio) and physical dimensions, ensuring direct form-fit-function compatibility in through-hole PCB applications.

The PE-63385NL offers improved compliance status: it is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the PE-63385 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or production environments with RoHS requirements, PE-63385NL is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical export classification (EAR99).

Product availability strongly favors PE-63385NL, which is active and in stock (2151 pcs), compared to PE-63385, which is obsolete. For ongoing production support and component procurement, PE-63385NL is the required selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-63385NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-63385 in existing designs?

A: Yes. PE-63385NL is a direct substitute with identical inductance (1.5mH), turns ratio (1:1), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between PE-63385 and PE-63385NL?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. PE-63385 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant; PE-63385NL is active and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and physical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: PE-63385 is supplied in standard packaging; PE-63385NL is supplied in Tray packaging. Both are through-hole components with identical form factors and mounting compatibility.

Q: Does PE-63385NL have additional electrical specifications?

A: PE-63385NL specifies an ET (Volt-Time) rating of 200VµS, which was not provided for PE-63385. This specification does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both PE-63385 and PE-63385NL are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. PE-63385NL additionally meets ROHS3 compliance requirements.
