Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PE-68828 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance values: Primary and secondary inductance must both be 1.2mH
• Turns ratio configuration: 1CT:1CT for both transmitter and receiver sections
• Mounting type: Surface Mount only
• Physical dimensions: 0.675" L x 0.456" W (17.15mm x 11.58mm) with maximum seated height of 0.340" (8.64mm)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 3 (168 Hours)

The PE-68828NL meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: PE-68828NL is Active and RoHS3 Compliant, whereas the original PE-68828 is Obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-68828NL is the direct substitute for PE-68828. Both components share identical electrical specifications (inductance, turns ratio) and mechanical dimensions (footprint, height). The PE-68828NL is preferred for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The original PE-68828, classified as Obsolete, should be replaced with PE-68828NL in production environments where regulatory compliance and component availability are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-68828NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-68828 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance values (1.2mH primary and secondary), turns ratios (1CT:1CT for transmitter and receiver), Surface Mount packaging, physical dimensions (0.675" L x 0.456" W, 0.340" max height), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between PE-68828 and PE-68828NL?

A: The PE-68828NL is the Active production equivalent. Key differences include product status (Active vs. Obsolete), RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant), and packaging specification (Tube vs. unspecified). Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when switching from PE-68828 to PE-68828NL?

A: The PE-68828NL is supplied in Tube packaging. Verify that your procurement and assembly processes accommodate this packaging format. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: Does the MSL rating differ between these parts?

A: No. Both PE-68828 and PE-68828NL carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) rating. Identical moisture handling and storage protocols apply.

Q: Is PE-68828NL suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. PE-68828NL is ROHS3 Compliant, making it suitable for applications with RoHS regulatory requirements. The original PE-68828 is RoHS non-compliant.
