PE-92108 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE-92108 is a 67 µH unshielded toroidal inductor rated for 3.6 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 45 mOhm. This through-hole component is designed for radial, vertical mounting in applications requiring fixed inductance values with moderate current handling capability.

The PE-92108 has reached obsolete product status. Locating direct replacements from current inventory is necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The substitute part PE-92108NL provides functional equivalence while maintaining active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PE-92108NL qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Identical at 67 µH with ±20% tolerance
• Current Rating: Identical at 3.6 A
• DC Resistance: Identical maximum of 45 mOhm
• Shielding Configuration: Both unshielded
• Mounting and Package: Identical through-hole radial vertical mounting
• Operating Temperature: Identical range of -40°C to 130°C
• Physical Footprint: Identical dimensions (1.050" Dia × 0.550" W)
• Test Frequency: Identical at 20 kHz

The PE-92108NL maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete PE-92108, enabling direct board-level substitution without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PE-92108NL is the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity. The substitute part maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the obsolete PE-92108 while offering the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: PE-92108NL is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Improved Compliance: PE-92108NL achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original PE-92108 is non-compliant
• Regulatory Alignment: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 classifications

For existing designs currently using PE-92108, direct substitution with PE-92108NL requires no circuit modifications, PCB layout changes, or functional re-qualification. The identical electrical performance, current rating, inductance value, and physical footprint ensure drop-in compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE-92108NL be used as a direct replacement for PE-92108 on existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. The PE-92108NL is electrically and mechanically identical to PE-92108. Both components share the same inductance value (67 µH), current rating (3.6 A), DC resistance (45 mOhm), physical dimensions, and mounting configuration. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from PE-92108 to PE-92108NL?

A: The PE-92108 is obsolete and no longer in production. The PE-92108NL is the active equivalent from Pulse Electronics, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Additionally, PE-92108NL achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs.

Q: Are there any differences in thermal performance between these parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 130°C. The DC resistance specification of 45 mOhm maximum is identical, indicating equivalent thermal characteristics under rated current conditions.

Q: Do these inductors require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, classified as Unlimited. This indicates minimal moisture sensitivity and standard handling procedures are appropriate.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-frequency applications?

A: Both parts are tested at 20 kHz inductance frequency. Applications requiring operation at significantly different frequencies should reference the self-resonant frequency specification, which is not provided in the available data.
