Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SWS-1.02-168 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 168 µH with ±20% tolerance
• Current rating: 1.02 A minimum
• DC resistance: 400mOhm
• Core material: Iron Powder
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C minimum
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The SH150S-1.02-168 meets all electrical equivalence criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical inductance, current rating, DC resistance, core material, and temperature specifications. Mechanical dimensions vary slightly, requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SWS-1.02-168 and SH150S-1.02-168 are active production components from Amgis, LLC with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on:

Electrical performance is identical across all specified parameters. The SWS-1.02-168 features superior moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 vs. MSL 2), providing unlimited shelf life without desiccant storage requirements. The SH150S-1.02-168 offers higher inventory availability (2056 units vs. 734 units) and is suitable for applications where MSL 2 storage conditions are maintained.

Mechanical dimensions differ in length (0.591" vs. 0.614") and height (0.325" vs. 0.388"). PCB layout constraints and component clearance requirements determine which variant is appropriate for specific designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the SWS-1.02-168 and SH150S-1.02-168 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts provide identical inductance (168 µH), current rating (1.02 A), DC resistance (400mOhm), core material (Iron Powder), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between these parts?

A: The SWS-1.02-168 measures 0.591" L × 0.591" W × 0.325" H (seated). The SH150S-1.02-168 measures 0.614" L × 0.591" W × 0.388" H (seated). Length and height dimensions differ; width is identical. PCB layout compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Does moisture sensitivity affect part selection?

A: The SWS-1.02-168 carries MSL 1 (unlimited shelf life), while the SH150S-1.02-168 carries MSL 2 (1-year shelf life with desiccant storage). For applications with extended storage or high-humidity environments, the SWS-1.02-168 provides superior moisture protection without special handling.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SWS-1.02-168 and SH150S-1.02-168 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: The SH150S-1.02-168 has higher inventory (2056 units) compared to the SWS-1.02-168 (734 units). If lead time is a critical factor and mechanical dimensions are compatible with the design, the SH150S-1.02-168 may be preferred.
