Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PE-65967 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Transformer Type: T3/E3 (Single) configuration
• Inductance Value: 40µH
• Turns Ratio: 1:1 primary to secondary
• Mounting Technology: Surface mount package
• Physical Dimensions: 0.300" L x 0.275" W with maximum seated height of 0.245"
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 3 (168 Hours)

The PE-65967NL is classified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical footprint, and thermal operating parameters. Substitution is valid where component-level compatibility with existing PCB layouts and circuit requirements is maintained.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-65967NL serves as the direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the PE-65967. Both components maintain identical transformer specifications, physical footprint, and thermal operating characteristics, ensuring pin-for-pin and land-pattern compatibility.

A key distinction exists in regulatory compliance: the PE-65967NL achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original PE-65967 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations requiring lead-free component construction, the PE-65967NL is the appropriate selection.

Packaging differs between the two parts: PE-65967 is supplied in bulk format, while PE-65967NL is supplied in tube packaging. This distinction affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Both components retain obsolete product status, indicating limited availability through standard distribution channels. Inventory verification is required prior to procurement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-65967NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-65967 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The PE-65967NL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the PE-65967. All critical parameters—inductance, turns ratio, physical dimensions, and operating temperature range—are identical. Direct substitution is valid at the component level.

Q: What is the difference between PE-65967 and PE-65967NL?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and packaging format. PE-65967NL is ROHS3 compliant and supplied in tube packaging, while PE-65967 is RoHS non-compliant and supplied in bulk. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tube) affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. It does not influence electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical fit on the PCB.

Q: Are both parts still available for purchase?

A: Both PE-65967 and PE-65967NL are classified as obsolete products. Availability is limited. Current inventory status should be verified with component distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, PE-65967NL is the preferred selection due to ROHS3 compliance, which aligns with current environmental and regulatory standards. However, both parts are obsolete, and long-term availability cannot be guaranteed.

Q: Is the MSL rating the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both PE-65967 and PE-65967NL carry an MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours), indicating identical moisture sensitivity and requiring equivalent handling and storage protocols.
