Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PM528S-8R2-RC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 8.2 µH with ±30% tolerance
• Current rating: 2.1 A minimum
• Saturation current: 1.6 A minimum
• DC resistance: 55 mOhm maximum
• Core type: Ferrite with shielding
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Package dimensions: 5.80 mm × 5.80 mm footprint with 3.00 mm maximum height
• Surface mount configuration

The SRR5028-8R2Y meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute within the same electrical and mechanical classification.

Parameter Comparison
