PL8705NLT Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL8705NLT is an 18.5 µH unshielded toroidal inductor manufactured by iNRCORE, LLC, designed for surface mount applications. This component is rated for 5.2 A continuous current with a DC resistance of 23.24 mOhm and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 130°C. The part is currently active in production and RoHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies requiring fixed inductance in compact form factors.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained, allowing for design flexibility, inventory optimization, or supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PL8705NLT is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 18.5 µH with ±20% tolerance
• Current Rating: 5.2 A minimum continuous current capacity
• DC Resistance: 23.24 mOhm
• Inductor Type: Toroidal configuration
• Shielding Characteristic: Unshielded
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 130°C minimum
• Physical Dimensions: 0.725" L x 0.575" W (18.42mm x 14.61mm) with maximum seated height of 0.380" (9.65mm)
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR)

The PL8705T meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PL8705NLT and PL8705T are electrically and mechanically equivalent 18.5 µH toroidal inductors from iNRCORE, LLC. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

PL8705NLT is the preferred choice for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. This part meets modern environmental and hazardous substance restrictions and is suitable for consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and applications subject to EU or equivalent regulatory frameworks.

PL8705T is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement. This part belongs to the POGO series and maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the PL8705NLT across all specified parameters.

Both parts are currently in active production status with adequate inventory availability. The choice between them depends solely on whether RoHS3 compliance is mandated by the end application or regulatory jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PL8705T be used as a direct replacement for PL8705NLT in all applications?

A: PL8705T is electrically and mechanically equivalent to PL8705NLT across all specified parameters including inductance, current rating, DC resistance, dimensions, and operating temperature range. However, if your application or end market requires RoHS3 compliance, PL8705NLT must be used. PL8705T is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching inductance (18.5 µH ±20%), current rating (5.2 A), DC resistance (23.24 mOhm), inductor type (toroidal), shielding (unshielded), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C).

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between PL8705NLT and PL8705T?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.725" L x 0.575" W (18.42mm x 14.61mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.380" (9.65mm), ensuring PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the POGO series designation and the standard part?

A: PL8705T is designated as part of the POGO series. This series designation does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The series identifier is provided for inventory and organizational purposes only.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both PL8705NLT and PL8705T are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

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

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
