Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN214-0.5-02-56 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Inductance value: 56 mH @ 10 kHz
• Current rating: 500 mA maximum
• Number of lines: 2-line configuration
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Filter application: Power Line Common Mode Choke
• Package configuration: Vertical, 4-pin package

Substitute Classification:

Direct Substitute (Active Status): RN214-0.5-02-56M is the active variant within the same RN series from Schaffner EMC Inc., maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor.

Functional Equivalent (Cross-Manufacturer): B82722J2501N020 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all core electrical parameters (56 mH @ 10 kHz, 500 mA, 2-line configuration) and mechanical requirements (Through Hole, Vertical 4-pin package) with minor variations in DC resistance and voltage rating within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): RN214-0.5-02-56M is the recommended substitute. It maintains active product status, identical electrical specifications, and equivalent mechanical form factor within the same manufacturer series. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: B82722J2501N020 provides functional equivalence with all critical electrical parameters matched (56 mH @ 10 kHz, 500 mA, 2-line configuration). Physical dimensions are within 1.2% variance, and mounting configuration is identical. The component carries ROHS3 compliance and equivalent safety certifications (ENEC, UR, VDE). Note that B82722J2501N020 has REACH Affected status and operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 100°C).

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance required for modern electronics manufacturing. The main part's RoHS Compliant designation aligns with both active alternatives' ROHS3 status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN214-0.5-02-56M be used as a direct replacement for RN214-0.5-02-56?

A: Yes. RN214-0.5-02-56M is the active production variant of the same series with identical electrical specifications (56 mH @ 10 kHz, 500 mA) and mechanical configuration (Through Hole, Vertical 4-pin package). It is the preferred substitute.

Q: What are the key differences between RN214-0.5-02-56M and B82722J2501N020?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical requirements (56 mH @ 10 kHz, 500 mA, 2-line). Differences include: DC resistance (1.7 Ohm vs. 2 Ohm), AC voltage rating (300 V vs. 250 V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C vs. -40°C to 125°C), and REACH status (Unaffected vs. Affected). Physical dimensions vary by approximately 1.2%.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB mounting?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts use identical Through Hole, Vertical 4-pin package configuration. Dimensional variance between RN214-0.5-02-56M and B82722J2501N020 is minimal (less than 1.2% in length and width, less than 0.2% in height), making both suitable for existing PCB layouts designed for the original part.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: RN214-0.5-02-56M is recommended for new designs as it maintains the same manufacturer series and active product status. B82722J2501N020 is suitable if cross-manufacturer sourcing is required or if the extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) is beneficial.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the substitutes?

A: Both substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and equivalent safety certifications (ENEC, UR, VDE). RN214-0.5-02-56M maintains REACH Unaffected status matching the original part. B82722J2501N020 has REACH Affected status, which may require additional documentation in regulated supply chains.
