PE-8270 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE-8270 is a through-hole transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics with an inductance rating of 2 mH. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The PE-8270 operates within standard moisture sensitivity parameters and maintains compatibility with legacy circuit designs requiring this specific inductance value and form factor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PE-8270 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance: 2 mH (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.500" L x 0.350" W x 0.250" H maximum (PCB layout constraint)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental handling equivalence)
• Manufacturer: Pulse Electronics (design and performance consistency)

The PE-8270NL meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-8270NL is the direct substitute for the obsolete PE-8270. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2 mH inductance) and mechanical form factors (through-hole mounting, 0.500" x 0.350" x 0.250" maximum dimensions). The PE-8270NL is currently in active production status with 1962 units available in inventory.

The primary distinction between the two parts is compliance status: the PE-8270NL is RoHS Compliant, whereas the PE-8270 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance documentation, the PE-8270NL is the appropriate selection. Both components maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PE-8270NL directly replace the PE-8270 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The PE-8270NL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the PE-8270. Both components feature 2 mH inductance, identical through-hole mounting configuration, and matching physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between PE-8270 and PE-8270NL?

A: The PE-8270NL is the active production variant of the obsolete PE-8270. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: PE-8270NL is RoHS Compliant while PE-8270 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The PE-8270 is supplied in standard packaging, while the PE-8270NL is supplied in Tube packaging. This distinction affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for substitution?

A: The PE-8270NL carries RoHS Compliant certification, making it suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. Both parts maintain identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 ECCN classifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these transformers?

A: Both the PE-8270 and PE-8270NL carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
