PE-68627 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE-68627 is a 4-line common mode choke (CMC) surface mount component manufactured by Pulse Electronics. It is designed for signal line filtering applications with a DC resistance of 250mOhm maximum and features a compact vertical 8 flat lead package measuring 9.02mm × 8.76mm × 5.26mm. The PE-68627 is classified as obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PE-68627 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Filter Type: Signal Line (must match)
• Number of Lines: 4 (must match)
• DC Resistance (DCR) Maximum: 250mOhm (must match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (must match)
• Package / Case: Vertical, 8 Flat Lead (must match)
• Physical Dimensions: 9.02mm × 8.76mm × 5.26mm (must match)

The PE-68627NL meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-68627NL is the direct parametric equivalent to the PE-68627 across all electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

For New Designs or Redesigns: PE-68627NL is the appropriate choice. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical performance while offering active product status and RoHS compliance, reducing regulatory and supply chain risk.

For Legacy System Support: PE-68627 may be retained if existing inventory is available and RoHS non-compliance is acceptable within the application context. However, PE-68627NL provides a direct drop-in replacement with no performance trade-offs.

Compliance Considerations: PE-68627NL's RoHS compliance status provides advantage in regulated markets and end-of-life disposal scenarios. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Packaging and Inventory: PE-68627NL is available in tube packaging with significantly higher inventory levels (3325 pcs vs. 908 pcs), supporting production continuity and reducing lead time risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-68627NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-68627?

A: Yes. PE-68627NL is a parametric equivalent with identical DC resistance, number of lines, physical dimensions, and package configuration. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between PE-68627 and PE-68627NL?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance (non-compliant vs. compliant), and packaging format (bulk vs. tube). Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts meet the same 250mOhm DCR specification and filtering characteristics.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 9.02mm × 8.76mm with a maximum height of 5.26mm and use the same vertical 8 flat lead package, ensuring PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production?

A: PE-68627NL should be selected for new designs. It provides active product status, RoHS compliance, and superior inventory availability while maintaining complete electrical and mechanical equivalence.

Q: Is there any performance difference in the 4-line common mode choke function?

A: No. Both parts provide identical signal line filtering performance with 4 lines and 250mOhm maximum DC resistance.
