Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SRR5028-560Y qualifies as a direct substitute for the PM528S-560-RC based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical inductance (56 µH), tolerance (±30%), current rating (720 mA), saturation current (600 mA), and DC resistance (300 mOhm Max). Quality factor and self-resonant frequency specifications are identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical physical dimensions (5.80 mm × 5.80 mm × 3.00 mm Max height), core material (ferrite), shielding configuration, and surface mount mounting type.

Environmental & Compliance Alignment: Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), carry ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected status.

Packaging Difference: The primary distinction is packaging format. PM528S-560-RC is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while SRR5028-560Y is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PM528S-560-RC and SRR5028-560Y are Active products from Bourns Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain availability. The PM528S-560-RC in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The SRR5028-560Y in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format provides flexibility for lower-volume applications or mixed component sourcing. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SRR5028-560Y replace PM528S-560-RC in my circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching inductance (56 µH), current ratings (720 mA), DC resistance (300 mOhm Max), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Physical dimensions are identical, ensuring mechanical compatibility in surface mount applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for continuous automated assembly lines with high component volumes. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides flexibility for lower-volume production runs or component kitting. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or performance differences.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both PM528S-560-RC and SRR5028-560Y carry identical certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited), and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Do these inductors have identical thermal performance?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and share identical core material (ferrite), shielding configuration, and thermal characteristics.

Q: Can I mix PM528S-560-RC and SRR5028-560Y in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, they can be used interchangeably within the same circuit design and production environment. Packaging format differences do not affect component performance or compatibility.
