UP5-5R6-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UP5-5R6-R is a 5.6 µH unshielded wirewound surface mount inductor manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division as part of the UNI-PAC™ 5 series. This component is rated for 5.3 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 20 mOhm and operates across the temperature range of -25°C to 105°C. The part is currently active in production and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when supply chain optimization is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UP5-5R6-R is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Inductance value: 5.6 µH (tolerance variations acceptable within industry standards)
• Current rating: 5.3 A minimum
• Saturation current: 12 A minimum
• DC resistance: 20 mOhm maximum
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded

Mechanical Parameters (Must Be Compatible):

• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package classification: Nonstandard (physical dimensions must accommodate PCB layout)
• Inductance test frequency: 100 kHz

Environmental & Compliance (Must Support Application):

• Operating temperature range must encompass the application's thermal requirements
• RoHS compliance status must meet regulatory requirements

The substitute part P0250.562NLT from Pulse Electronics satisfies all mandatory electrical parameters and maintains mechanical compatibility within the nonstandard package classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: UP5-5R6-R (Eaton - Electronics Division)

Use the primary part when:

• Eaton component qualification is required by design specification or procurement policy
• Supply availability from Eaton meets project timeline requirements
• UNI-PAC™ 5 series integration is specified in the design documentation

Substitute Part: P0250.562NLT (Pulse Electronics)

Use the substitute part when:

• UP5-5R6-R is unavailable from primary supplier
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 130°C) is required by the application
• Tighter inductance tolerance (±15% vs ±20%) provides design margin benefit
• Pulse Electronics P0250NL series qualification is acceptable per design authority
• Supply chain optimization requires dual-source qualification

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance at rated specifications. The substitute part offers an extended operating temperature range and improved inductance tolerance. Physical dimensions are dimensionally similar with negligible variation. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between primary and substitute should be based on availability, supply chain strategy, and design authority approval.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0250.562NLT be used as a direct replacement for UP5-5R6-R?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (5.6 µH), current rating (5.3 A), saturation current (12 A), DC resistance (20 mOhm max), shielding configuration (unshielded), and mounting type (surface mount). Physical dimensions are dimensionally similar. Electrical performance is equivalent at rated specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Inductance tolerance is ±15% for P0250.562NLT versus ±20% for UP5-5R6-R, providing tighter specification; (2) Operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 130°C for P0250.562NLT versus -25°C ~ 105°C for UP5-5R6-R, offering extended thermal capability; (3) Physical dimensions vary slightly within the nonstandard package classification (length 18.62mm vs 18.40mm, width 15.14mm vs 15.00mm, height 7.36mm vs 7.50mm).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout?

A: Physical dimensions are dimensionally similar. The substitute part (P0250.562NLT) is slightly larger in length and width but slightly shorter in height. PCB footprint compatibility should be verified against the specific board design. Both parts use identical surface mount technology and nonstandard package classification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. UP5-5R6-R carries RoHS Compliant status, while P0250.562NLT carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet current regulatory requirements. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. P0250.562NLT additionally carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: P0250.562NLT is suitable for applications requiring operation above 105°C, as it supports temperatures up to 130°C. UP5-5R6-R is limited to 105°C maximum. For applications within the -25°C ~ 105°C range, both parts are suitable.

Q: Is inductance tolerance a critical factor in my application?

A: Inductance tolerance becomes critical when circuit performance depends on precise inductance values. P0250.562NLT offers ±15% tolerance versus ±20% for UP5-5R6-R. If your design requires tighter tolerance control, P0250.562NLT provides improved specification margin.
