SC-06-60J Common Mode Choke Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC-06-60J is a 6 mH common mode choke manufactured by KEMET, designed for two-line power line filtering applications. This through-hole component operates at 6A maximum current with 60 mOhm DC resistance and is rated for 250V DC/AC operation across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 120°C. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production designs requiring EMI suppression in power distribution circuits.

Equivalent parts may be required due to inventory constraints, design revisions, or application-specific parameter adjustments while maintaining compatibility within the SC-J series platform.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SC-06-35J qualifies as a parametric equivalent within the SC-J series based on the following substitution criteria:

Maintained Parameters (Identical):

• Manufacturer: KEMET
• Series: SC-J
• Current Rating: 6A maximum
• Voltage Rating: 250V DC / 250V AC
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 120°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Number of Lines: 2
• Package / Case: Vertical, 4 PC Pin
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Variable Parameters (Allowed Substitution Range):

• Inductance @ 10 kHz: 4.6 mH (versus 6 mH in main part)
• DC Resistance (Max): 50 mOhm (versus 60 mOhm in main part)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.339" L x 0.945" W (versus 1.339" L x 0.984" W)

The SC-06-35J operates within the same electrical and mechanical envelope, maintaining compatibility with through-hole PCB layouts while offering reduced inductance and lower DC resistance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SC-06-60J and SC-06-35J maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific inductance requirements:

The SC-06-60J provides 6 mH inductance with 60 mOhm DCR and is appropriate for applications requiring higher filtering attenuation at the specified frequency.

The SC-06-35J provides 4.6 mH inductance with 50 mOhm DCR and is appropriate for applications where lower inductance and reduced resistive losses are acceptable or beneficial.

Both parts share identical current ratings, voltage ratings, temperature operating range, and through-hole mounting configuration, ensuring PCB layout compatibility. The 1 mm width reduction in the SC-06-35J does not affect pin spacing or mounting hole alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SC-06-35J replace SC-06-60J in any application?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application circuit design accommodates the lower 4.6 mH inductance value. The reduced inductance will alter EMI filtering characteristics. Verify that the lower inductance meets your power line filtering requirements before substitution.

Q: Are the pin configurations identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use Vertical, 4 PC Pin package configuration with identical pin spacing and through-hole mounting. PCB layouts are directly compatible.

Q: What is the difference in DC resistance between these parts?

A: SC-06-60J has 60 mOhm maximum DCR, while SC-06-35J has 50 mOhm maximum DCR. The 10 mOhm reduction in the substitute part results in lower resistive losses during operation.

Q: Do both parts operate across the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both SC-06-60J and SC-06-35J operate from -40°C to 120°C and maintain identical voltage ratings of 250V DC and 250V AC.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences that affect board layout?

A: The SC-06-35J is 0.039" (1 mm) narrower than the SC-06-60J. Both maintain 1.339" length and 1.299" maximum height. This minor width difference does not affect standard through-hole PCB mounting patterns.
