PI60-05-FPIZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PI60-05-FPIZ is a 150 nH unshielded surface mount inductor manufactured by Vicor Corporation, rated for 40 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. The part operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PI60-05-FPIZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 150 nH (primary functional requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (PCB assembly compatibility)
• Current Rating: Minimum 40 A (thermal and saturation performance)
• DC Resistance: Maximum 0.5 mOhm (power loss and thermal characteristics)
• Package Compatibility: Physical dimensions and footprint alignment
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 and REACH status

The FPV1006-150-R shares the same inductance value (150 nH) and mounting type (Surface Mount) as the PI60-05-FPIZ. However, the FPV1006-150-R is rated for 25 A maximum current, which is below the 40 A requirement of the original part. This current rating difference represents a functional limitation that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FPV1006-150-R maintains electrical equivalence in inductance value and shares the same manufacturer (Vicor Corporation) with active product status and current ROHS3 compliance. The primary consideration for selection is the reduced current rating of 25 A versus the original 40 A specification. Applications operating at or near the 40 A threshold require verification that the FPV1006-150-R thermal and saturation characteristics remain acceptable under actual operating conditions. Both parts meet ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements, supporting regulatory continuity in design transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FPV1006-150-R directly replace the PI60-05-FPIZ in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is limited by current rating. The FPV1006-150-R is rated for 25 A maximum, while the PI60-05-FPIZ is rated for 40 A. Replacement is suitable only for applications where the actual operating current does not exceed 25 A.

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

A: The PI60-05-FPIZ uses a standard 2-SMD package, while the FPV1006-150-R uses a nonstandard package. Physical dimensions differ slightly (width: 8.10mm vs. 8.40mm), requiring PCB footprint verification before substitution.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the PI60-05-FPIZ and FPV1006-150-R are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Why is the PI60-05-FPIZ marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The FPV1006-150-R, with active product status, represents the current manufacturing alternative from Vicor Corporation for 150 nH surface mount inductors.

Q: What is the DC resistance specification for the FPV1006-150-R?

A: The DC resistance value for the FPV1006-150-R is not provided in the available technical data. This parameter should be obtained from the manufacturer datasheet before final design selection.
