PE-92102K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE-92102K is a 100 µH unshielded toroidal inductor rated for 2.6 A with a maximum DC resistance of 100mOhm, designed for through-hole mounting in radial, vertical orientation. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and design continuity. The PE-92102K remains available in inventory but is no longer actively manufactured, necessitating transition to current production alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-92102KNL be used as a direct replacement for PE-92102K?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance (100 µH), current rating (2.6 A), DC resistance (100mOhm max), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. The PE-92102KNL is a direct functional equivalent suitable for drop-in replacement.

Q: What is the difference between PE-92102K and PE-92102KNL?

A: The primary differences are product status, compliance certifications, and packaging. PE-92102K is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status and bulk packaging. PE-92102KNL is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and tray packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tray) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. The difference is in handling, storage, and automated assembly compatibility. Both parts mount identically in through-hole applications.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from PE-92102K to PE-92102KNL?

A: Yes. PE-92102KNL provides ROHS3 compliance, which is required for many current applications and markets. PE-92102K is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, PE-92102KNL is the appropriate choice.

Q: Will PE-92102KNL fit the same PCB footprint as PE-92102K?

A: Yes. Both components have identical physical dimensions (0.850" L x 0.450" W, 0.950" height maximum) and radial, vertical through-hole mounting orientation. PCB layout modifications are not required.
