PL8206NL Common Mode Choke Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL8206NL is a 2-line common mode choke (CMC) designed for power line filtering applications. This surface mount component is rated for 3.3A maximum current with 60mOhm DC resistance and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 130°C. The part is currently active in production and available in tube packaging with RoHS3 compliance. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PL8206NL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Lines: 2 (fixed requirement)
• Current Rating (Max): 3.3A (fixed requirement)
• DC Resistance (DCR) (Max): 60mOhm (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (fixed requirement)
• Package / Case: Horizontal, 4 PC Pad (fixed requirement)
• Size / Dimension: 0.770" L x 0.670" W / 19.56mm x 17.02mm (fixed requirement)
• Height (Max): 0.390" (9.91mm) (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 130°C (fixed requirement)
• Filter Type: Power Line (fixed requirement)

The substitute part PL8207 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring a 2-line, 3.3A-rated common mode choke with identical physical and thermal specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PL8206NL and PL8207 are electrically and mechanically equivalent 2-line common mode chokes with identical current ratings, DC resistance, physical dimensions, and thermal operating ranges. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

PL8206NL is the preferred choice for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. This part carries active product status and meets environmental regulations for restricted substances.

PL8207 provides an alternative for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part also maintains active product status and identical electrical performance characteristics.

Both parts are manufactured by iNRCORE, LLC and are available in tube packaging with MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PL8207 be used as a direct replacement for PL8206NL?

A: Yes, PL8207 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. All critical parameters including current rating (3.3A), DC resistance (60mOhm), physical dimensions (0.770" L x 0.670" W x 0.390" H), mounting type (surface mount), and thermal range (-55°C to 130°C) are identical. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the key difference between PL8206NL and PL8207?

A: The PL8206NL is RoHS3 compliant, while PL8207 is RoHS non-compliant. All other electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications are equivalent.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes, both PL8206NL and PL8207 are supplied in tube packaging with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, use PL8206NL. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is suitable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Do these parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes, both parts have identical dimensions (0.770" L x 0.670" W) and height (0.390" max), with the same horizontal 4 PC pad package configuration, ensuring identical PCB layout compatibility.
