Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SWS-0.36-375 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 375 µH (±20% tolerance band)
• Current rating: 360 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 1.3Ohm
• Core material: Iron Powder
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The SH150S-0.36-375 meets all electrical and environmental specifications required for direct substitution. Physical dimensions and packaging format differ, requiring mechanical validation during integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SH150S-0.36-375 is the direct electrical equivalent for the obsolete SWS-0.36-375. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The SH150S-0.36-375 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Physical dimensions differ between the two parts. The SH150S-0.36-375 is larger in length, width, and height. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be validated before implementation. The substitute part features Moisture Sensitivity Level 2 (1 Year) compared to MSL 1 (Unlimited) for the original, requiring appropriate storage and handling protocols during manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SH150S-0.36-375 be used as a direct replacement for SWS-0.36-375?

A: Yes, from an electrical standpoint. Both parts deliver identical inductance (375 µH), current rating (360 mA), and DC resistance (1.3Ohm). Physical dimensions differ, requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Electrical specifications are identical. The SH150S-0.36-375 is larger (14.20mm x 14.00mm vs. 12.80mm x 12.80mm) and taller (8.55mm vs. 7.25mm). Moisture sensitivity differs: MSL 2 (1 Year) versus MSL 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The SWS-0.36-375 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The SH150S-0.36-375 is an active product offering equivalent electrical performance with current manufacturing support.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: The SWS-0.36-375 uses nonstandard packaging. The SH150S-0.36-375 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Verify compatibility with your assembly equipment and procurement processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What must be validated before using the substitute?

A: Verify PCB layout accommodates the larger footprint and height. Confirm assembly equipment compatibility with Tape & Reel packaging. Implement appropriate moisture handling for MSL 2 storage requirements.
