UP5S-680-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UP5S-680-R is a 68 µH shielded wirewound inductor manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, rated for 2 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 115 mOhm. This component is part of the UNI-PAC™ 5S series and is classified as Active product status. The part is packaged in Surface Mount configuration with nonstandard dimensions and is ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent inductance values, current ratings, and operating temperature ranges meet or exceed the performance requirements of the original specification, while maintaining compatibility with the same mounting technology and package classification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UP5S-680-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Inductance value: 68 µH (exact match required)
• Inductance test frequency: 100 kHz
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Package classification: Nonstandard
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Performance Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating must equal or exceed 2 A
• Saturation current (Isat) must equal or exceed 3.01 A
• DC resistance must not exceed 115 mOhm
• Operating temperature range must encompass or extend the -25°C to 85°C specification
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The P0250.683NLT from Pulse Electronics meets all primary matching criteria and exceeds performance requirements in current rating (2.3 A vs. 2 A) and saturation current (3.5 A vs. 3.01 A). The substitute part provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C) and improved tolerance specification (±15% vs. ±20%).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UP5S-680-R (Eaton - Electronics Division):

• Primary choice for applications requiring shielded inductor construction
• Active product status with established supply chain
• Suitable for electromagnetic interference-sensitive environments
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C

P0250.683NLT (Pulse Electronics):

• Acceptable substitute where unshielded construction is permissible
• Higher current rating (2.3 A) and saturation current (3.5 A) provide design margin
• Tighter inductance tolerance (±15%) improves circuit performance predictability
• Extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C) supports wider application scope
• Active product status with high inventory availability (2722 Pcs)
• Slightly higher DC resistance (130 mOhm vs. 115 mOhm) requires thermal evaluation in high-current applications

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications. Physical dimensions are comparable with minimal variation in height and footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0250.683NLT replace UP5S-680-R in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid when the application does not require shielded inductor characteristics. The P0250.683NLT is unshielded, which may introduce electromagnetic coupling in sensitive circuits. Verify that electromagnetic interference mitigation is not a design requirement before substitution.

Q: What is the impact of the 15 mOhm higher DC resistance in P0250.683NLT?

A: The P0250.683NLT has a maximum DC resistance of 130 mOhm compared to 115 mOhm in the UP5S-680-R. At the rated 2 A current, this represents an additional power dissipation of approximately 60 mW. Thermal analysis is required for applications operating at or near maximum current ratings.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB layout?

A: Both parts are classified as nonstandard package with comparable dimensions. UP5S-680-R measures 18.40mm x 15.00mm x 7.50mm (max height), while P0250.683NLT measures 18.62mm x 15.14mm x 7.36mm (max height). Verify footprint compatibility with your PCB design before substitution.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of P0250.683NLT affect reliability?

A: The P0250.683NLT operating range of -40°C to 130°C exceeds the UP5S-680-R range of -25°C to 85°C. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Extended temperature capability does not compromise reliability within the original application temperature window.

Q: What is the significance of the ±15% tolerance improvement in P0250.683NLT?

A: The P0250.683NLT tolerance of ±15% is tighter than the UP5S-680-R tolerance of ±20%. This reduces inductance variation across production batches, improving circuit performance consistency and reducing design margin requirements for inductance-critical applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automated assembly?

A: Both parts are Surface Mount components supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Verify that your assembly process accommodates the nonstandard package dimensions.
