Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PL8202NL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Filter Type: Power Line
• Number of Lines: 2
• Current Rating (Max): 9.7A
• DC Resistance (DCR) (Max): 14mOhm
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: Horizontal, 4 PC Pad
• Physical Dimensions: 1.220" L x 1.000" W (30.99mm x 25.40mm), Height 0.500" (12.70mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 130°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The PL8202 meets all parametric equivalence criteria and is classified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PL8202 is parametrically equivalent to the PL8202NL across all electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are active products from iNRCORE, LLC with identical current ratings, DC resistance, operating temperature ranges, and physical dimensions.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The PL8202NL carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while the PL8202 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts must be based on the regulatory requirements of the end application and target market. Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance must use PL8202NL. Applications without RoHS compliance mandates may use either part based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PL8202 be used as a direct replacement for PL8202NL?

A: The PL8202 is parametrically equivalent to PL8202NL in all electrical and mechanical specifications. However, the PL8202 is RoHS non-compliant while PL8202NL is RoHS3 compliant. Use PL8202 only in applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between PL8202NL and PL8202?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 1.220" L x 1.000" W (30.99mm x 25.40mm) with a maximum height of 0.500" (12.70mm), and both use the Horizontal, 4 PC Pad package configuration.

Q: Do both parts have the same current and resistance ratings?

A: Yes. Both PL8202NL and PL8202 are rated for 9.7A maximum current and 14mOhm maximum DC resistance.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these parts?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 130°C.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity?

A: No. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited).
