Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VLS2010ET-R56N is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 560 nH (exact match required)
• Inductance tolerance: ±30% or tighter
• Current rating: minimum 2 A
• DC resistance: 59–60 mOhm maximum
• Shielding: shielded construction
• Mounting: surface mount
• Operating temperature: minimum -40°C to 85°C coverage
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

The substitute part 1285AS-H-R56M=P2 meets all electrical parameters within acceptable tolerances and maintains equivalent environmental compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1285AS-H-R56M=P2 from Murata Electronics is a qualified substitute for the VLS2010ET-R56N based on electrical parameter equivalence and regulatory compliance alignment. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and maintain MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings.

The substitute part offers improved specifications in three areas: tighter inductance tolerance (±20% versus ±30%), higher current rating (2.8 A versus 2 A), and equivalent DC resistance (59 mOhm versus 60 mOhm maximum). The operating temperature range of the substitute extends to 85°C, which covers the primary operating window of the original part.

Component selection should account for package footprint differences. The original VLS2010ET-R56N uses a nonstandard 2.00mm x 2.00mm footprint, while the substitute 1285AS-H-R56M=P2 is specified as 0805 (2012 Metric) with dimensions of 2.00mm x 1.60mm. PCB layout compatibility must be verified prior to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1285AS-H-R56M=P2 directly replace the VLS2010ET-R56N in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on inductance value, current rating, DC resistance, and shielding equivalence. Physical footprint differences (2.00mm x 1.60mm versus 2.00mm x 2.00mm) require PCB layout verification to confirm pad compatibility and placement feasibility.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance tolerance difference (±30% versus ±20%)?

A: The substitute part offers tighter tolerance control, which may improve circuit performance consistency. Applications requiring the original ±30% tolerance window will operate within acceptable parameters using the ±20% substitute.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the substitute part affect circuit operation?

A: No. The 2.8 A rating of the substitute exceeds the 2 A requirement of the original design, providing additional thermal margin and saturation headroom without altering electrical behavior at design current levels.

Q: Are there compliance or environmental concerns with this substitution?

A: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. No compliance barriers exist for this substitution.

Q: What should be verified before implementing this substitute in production?

A: Confirm PCB pad layout compatibility with the 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions. Validate that the 85°C maximum operating temperature of the substitute meets application requirements if operation above 85°C is anticipated.
