Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VLS201610CX-220M-1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following electrical and mechanical matching criteria:

• Inductance: Identical at 22 µH with ±20% tolerance
• Current Rating: Matched at 480 mA continuous current
• Saturation Current: Identical at 380 mA
• DC Resistance: Matching maximum of 1.582 Ohm
• Core Material & Type: Both feature ferrite drum core, wirewound construction with shielding
• Operating Temperature Range: Identical -40°C to 105°C specification
• Physical Dimensions: Equivalent footprint of 2.00 mm × 1.60 mm with 1.00 mm max height
• Inductance Test Frequency: Both specified at 1 MHz
• Compliance: Both ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction is product status: VLS201610CX-220M is obsolete, while VLS201610CX-220M-1 carries active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (2621 pcs vs. 867 pcs).
