Bourns 2101-V 10µH Toroidal Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 2101-V is a 10 µH unshielded toroidal inductor rated for 10.8 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 6 mOhm. This through-hole component is designed for radial, vertical mounting in applications requiring low-inductance, high-current filtering and energy storage. The 2101-V carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Bourns 2101-V is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 10 µH (±15% tolerance)
• Current Rating: 10.8 A minimum
• DC Resistance: 6 mOhm maximum
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole, radial, vertical orientation
• Physical Dimensions: 0.860" Dia x 0.450" W (21.84mm x 11.43mm)
• Shielding Type: Unshielded
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 105°C

The Bourns 2101-V-RC meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. Both parts belong to the Bourns 2100 series and share identical electrical specifications and physical form factors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 2101-V-RC is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 2101-V. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

• The 2101-V carries obsolete status with RoHS non-compliant certification
• The 2101-V-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance

For new designs and ongoing production requiring a 10 µH, 10.8 A toroidal inductor in through-hole radial configuration, the 2101-V-RC is the appropriate selection. Both parts are available from Bourns Inc. and share the same base product number (2101) within the 2100 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2101-V-RC directly replace the 2101-V in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2101-V-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 2101-V. Both components have the same inductance value (10 µH ±15%), current rating (10.8 A), DC resistance (6 mOhm max), physical dimensions (0.860" Dia x 0.450" W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 2101-V and 2101-V-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 2101-V is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 2101-V-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Packaging differs (standard versus bulk), but electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging considerations when switching from 2101-V to 2101-V-RC?

A: The 2101-V-RC is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 2101-V uses standard packaging. Both components are through-hole toroidal inductors with identical form factors and mounting requirements. No PCB layout or assembly process changes are necessary.

Q: What parameters define substitutability for the 2101-V?

A: Substitutes must match the following specifications: 10 µH inductance (±15% tolerance), 10.8 A current rating, 6 mOhm maximum DC resistance, unshielded toroidal construction, through-hole radial vertical mounting, 0.860" Dia x 0.450" W physical dimensions, and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Q: Is the 2101-V-RC suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 2101-V-RC is an active product with current manufacturer support and ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate choice for new designs requiring a 10 µH, 10.8 A toroidal inductor in through-hole configuration.
