Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VLS252010CX-2R2M is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Inductance value: 2.2 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±20%
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Physical dimensions: 0.098" L x 0.079" W (2.50mm x 2.00mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.039" (1.00mm)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part VLS252010CX-2R2M-1 satisfies all primary matching criteria. This part maintains identical inductance specifications, physical footprint, and environmental compliance ratings. The substitute represents an active production alternative within the same TDK VLS-CX series family, providing direct functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VLS252010CX-2R2M-1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete VLS252010CX-2R2M based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active production status with TDK Corporation, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete main part.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, confirming equivalent environmental and handling requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical physical dimensions (0.098" L x 0.079" W, 1.00mm max height) and surface mount configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Electrical Specifications: The substitute part provides specified current rating (1.58 A) and DC resistance (126mOhm Max) characteristics, offering additional performance documentation compared to the main part. The 2.2 µH inductance and ±20% tolerance remain unchanged, maintaining circuit performance equivalence.

Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the TDK VLS-CX inductor family, confirming manufacturer-validated substitution within the same product line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VLS252010CX-2R2M-1 be used as a direct replacement for VLS252010CX-2R2M?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical inductance (2.2 µH), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions (0.098" L x 0.079" W, 1.00mm height), mounting type (Surface Mount), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). PCB footprint and circuit performance remain equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main part (VLS252010CX-2R2M) is obsolete with unspecified electrical ratings. The substitute (VLS252010CX-2R2M-1) is active production with documented current rating (1.58 A), DC resistance (126mOhm Max), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). The substitute uses drum core construction versus the main part's unspecified core type.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. The main part packaging specification is not provided. Both parts use identical physical case dimensions (2520 nonstandard package designation).

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), confirming equivalent environmental handling and regulatory compliance.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for high-current applications?

A: The substitute part is rated for 1.58 A maximum current with 126mOhm maximum DC resistance. Circuit design must verify that this current rating meets application requirements. The main part does not provide current specifications for comparison.
