Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PE-65612 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance: 2.5 mH (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (physical compatibility)
• Size / Dimension: 0.500" L x 0.350" W (12.70mm x 8.89mm) (PCB footprint compatibility)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.250" (6.35mm) (clearance compatibility)
• For Use With/Related Products: CS8401, CS8402, CS8403, CS8404 Audio Transmitters (functional compatibility)

The PE-65612NL meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it the direct equivalent for the obsolete PE-65612.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-65612NL is the direct equivalent for the obsolete PE-65612. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including inductance, mounting type, physical dimensions, and intended application with CS8401, CS8402, CS8403, and CS8404 audio transmitters.

The PE-65612NL offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original PE-65612 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the PE-65612NL is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-65612NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-65612?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical inductance (2.5 mH), mounting type (Through Hole), physical dimensions (0.500" L x 0.350" W, 12.70mm x 8.89mm), and maximum seated height (0.250", 6.35mm). Both are designed for use with CS8401, CS8402, CS8403, and CS8404 audio transmitters.

Q: What is the difference between PE-65612 and PE-65612NL?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. PE-65612 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while PE-65612NL is active and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: PE-65612 is supplied in standard packaging, while PE-65612NL is supplied in Tube packaging. Both maintain the same component specifications and footprint.

Q: Will PE-65612NL fit the same PCB layout as PE-65612?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical through-hole mounting type and physical dimensions (0.500" L x 0.350" W, 0.250" maximum seated height), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Q: Should I use PE-65612NL for new designs?

A: Yes. PE-65612NL is the active equivalent and provides ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate choice for new system designs and procurement.
