PI60-04-FPIZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PI60-04-FPIZ is a 125 nH unshielded surface mount inductor manufactured by Vicor Corporation, rated for 55 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 0.5 mOhm. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain the same inductance value, surface mount packaging compatibility, and current handling capability to ensure direct replacement in existing circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PI60-04-FPIZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 125 nH (primary electrical requirement)
• Current Rating: Minimum 55 A (electrical performance requirement)
• DC Resistance: Maximum 0.5 mOhm (thermal and efficiency requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (assembly compatibility)
• Package Compatibility: 2-SMD or equivalent footprint (PCB layout compatibility)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (environmental requirement)

The substitute part FPV1006-125-R shares the same inductance value and surface mount configuration. However, critical electrical parameters including current rating and DC resistance specifications are not provided for this substitute, limiting full parameter verification for direct replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PI60-04-FPIZ and FPV1006-125-R are obsolete products from Vicor Corporation. Selection between these parts must be based on available inventory and application requirements.

The PI60-04-FPIZ provides complete electrical specifications including 55 A current rating and 0.5 mOhm maximum DC resistance, with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. The FPV1006-125-R shares the same inductance value and surface mount configuration but lacks documented current rating and DC resistance specifications. The package designation differs (2-SMD versus Nonstandard), and dimensional variance exists in the width specification (8.10mm versus 8.40mm).

For applications requiring verified current handling and DC resistance performance, the PI60-04-FPIZ remains the preferred choice due to complete parameter documentation. The FPV1006-125-R may serve as an alternative only when current rating and DC resistance requirements can be independently verified or when application constraints permit relaxed electrical specifications.

Both parts maintain REACH compliance and EAR99 export classification status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FPV1006-125-R directly replace PI60-04-FPIZ in high-current applications?

A: Direct replacement cannot be confirmed. The FPV1006-125-R lacks documented current rating and DC resistance specifications. Applications requiring 55 A operation and 0.5 mOhm maximum DCR must verify these parameters with the manufacturer before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the package designation difference (2-SMD versus Nonstandard)?

A: The PI60-04-FPIZ uses standard 2-SMD packaging, while FPV1006-125-R is designated as Nonstandard. This difference may affect PCB footprint compatibility and assembly process compatibility. Dimensional variance in width (8.10mm versus 8.40mm) requires PCB layout verification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. PI60-04-FPIZ is ROHS3 compliant, and FPV1006-125-R is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

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

A: PI60-04-FPIZ carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. FPV1006-125-R is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, suggesting no moisture sensitivity concern.

Q: Are these parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both parts are classified as obsolete. New designs should not incorporate these components. Current production alternatives from Vicor Corporation or other manufacturers should be evaluated for new applications.
