Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PE-65968 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Transformer Type: T3/E3 (Single) configuration
• Inductance: 19µH
• Turns Ratio: 1:2CT
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Physical Dimensions: 0.300" L x 0.275" W (7.62mm x 7.00mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.245" (6.23mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 70°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours)

The PE-65968NL meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, providing direct functional equivalence while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-65968NL is the direct substitute for the obsolete PE-65968. Both components share identical electrical specifications (19µH inductance, 1:2CT turns ratio) and mechanical dimensions (0.300" L x 0.275" W, 0.245" max height), ensuring pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility.

The PE-65968NL offers two significant advantages over the main part:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance addresses regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement in restricted substance environments

Both components maintain equivalent REACH and ECCN classifications, with identical MSL ratings and operating temperature ranges. The substitution presents no functional or compliance trade-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-65968NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-65968?

A: Yes. The PE-65968NL maintains identical electrical parameters (19µH inductance, 1:2CT turns ratio), physical dimensions (0.300" L x 0.275" W, 0.245" max height), and operating specifications (0°C ~ 70°C, MSL 3). Surface mount footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between PE-65968 and PE-65968NL?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. PE-65968 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while PE-65968NL is active and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: PE-65968 is supplied in standard packaging, while PE-65968NL is supplied in tube packaging. Both maintain identical component specifications and surface mount compatibility.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations when substituting?

A: No. Both components operate across the identical temperature range (0°C ~ 70°C) and share the same MSL rating (3, 168 Hours), ensuring equivalent performance in specified environmental conditions.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification and REACH Unaffected status. PE-65968NL additionally provides ROHS3 compliance, which PE-65968 does not offer.
