Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PL8207NL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Lines: 2 (fixed requirement)
• Current Rating (Max): 3.3A (fixed requirement)
• DC Resistance (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 to 130°C (fixed requirement)
• Filter Type: Power Line (fixed requirement)

The substitute part PL8207 meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Differences in series designation, RoHS compliance status, and inventory levels do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PL8207NL and PL8207 are active products from iNRCORE, LLC with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

PL8207NL is the preferred choice for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. This part meets current environmental regulations and is suitable for consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and regulated markets.

PL8207 is functionally equivalent but carries RoHS non-compliant status. This part is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement or for legacy system maintenance where the original specification did not mandate RoHS compliance.

Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification, indicating identical export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PL8207 be used as a direct replacement for PL8207NL?

A: PL8207 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to PL8207NL. Both parts have identical current ratings (3.3A), DC resistance (60mOhm), dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. Direct substitution is possible if RoHS compliance is not required by your application or regulatory environment.

Q: What is the difference between PL8207NL and PL8207?

A: The parts are functionally identical. PL8207NL is RoHS3 compliant, while PL8207 is RoHS non-compliant. Both are manufactured by iNRCORE, LLC and share the same electrical specifications, package type, and physical dimensions.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both PL8207NL and PL8207 are supplied in tube packaging. Physical dimensions, case style (Horizontal, 4 PC Pad), and moisture sensitivity levels are identical.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, PL8207NL is recommended due to RoHS3 compliance, which aligns with current environmental regulations and ensures broader market acceptance and regulatory compliance across most regions.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly line?

A: Yes, from a mechanical and electrical standpoint, these parts are interchangeable. However, if your manufacturing process or customer requirements mandate RoHS compliance, PL8207NL must be used exclusively.
