Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VLS252012HBX-100M-1 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 10 µH (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching specification)
• Package / Case: 1008 (2520 Metric) (identical physical footprint)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (same assembly method)
• Shielding: Shielded (electromagnetic containment requirement)
• Core Type: Drum Core, Wirewound (functional architecture)
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

The BWMR00252012100M00 from Pulse Electronics qualifies as a substitute based on matching inductance, tolerance, package dimensions, shielding configuration, and core construction. Variations in current rating, DC resistance, and operating temperature range are within acceptable substitution parameters for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VLS252012HBX-100M-1 and BWMR00252012100M00 maintain Active product status and satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements. The primary distinction lies in current rating specifications: the TDK component is rated for 1 A continuous current, while the Pulse Electronics substitute is rated for 850 mA. Selection between these parts depends on circuit current requirements. The Pulse Electronics part offers a lower maximum DC resistance (480 mOhm versus 540 mOhm) and an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 105°C). Both components share identical package dimensions, footprint, and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BWMR00252012100M00 be used as a direct replacement for the VLS252012HBX-100M-1?

A: Direct replacement is possible when circuit current requirements do not exceed 850 mA. Both parts share identical inductance values, tolerances, package dimensions, and mounting types. Verify that your application current does not exceed the 850 mA rating of the substitute part.

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

A: The primary differences are current rating (1 A versus 850 mA), maximum DC resistance (540 mOhm versus 480 mOhm), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 125°C). Inductance, tolerance, package, and shielding specifications are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1008 (2520 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.098" L x 0.079" W (2.50mm x 2.00mm) and a maximum seated height of 0.047" (1.20mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. Both the VLS252012HBX-100M-1 and BWMR00252012100M00 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the inductance tolerance for both parts?

A: Both parts carry a ±20% inductance tolerance at the 1 MHz test frequency.
