Bourns 2204-V 18µH Shielded Toroidal Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 2204-V is an 18 µH shielded toroidal inductor rated for 10.8 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 9 mOhm. This through-hole component features an iron powder core and radial vertical mounting configuration. The 2204-V is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The substitute part 2204-V-RC provides functional equivalence with updated product status and compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 2204-V-RC qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution criteria are determined by the following parameters, all of which match between the main part and substitute:

• Inductance value: 18 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±15%
• Current rating: 10.8 A
• DC resistance: 9 mOhm maximum
• Core material: Iron powder
• Shielding configuration: Shielded
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Package configuration: Radial, vertical (open)
• Physical dimensions: 0.950" Dia × 0.550" W

The 2204-V-RC maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 2204-V specification while offering improved product status and compliance posture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2204-V-RC is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production. The substitute part maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 2204-V while offering two significant advantages: active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain support, and ROHS3 compliance addressing regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

The 2204-V remains suitable for legacy system maintenance where existing inventory is available and regulatory compliance is not a constraint. However, for applications requiring compliance with current environmental standards or long-term component availability, the 2204-V-RC is the specified alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2204-V and 2204-V-RC electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (18 µH), current rating (10.8 A), DC resistance (9 mOhm maximum), core material (iron powder), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: Can the 2204-V-RC be used as a drop-in replacement for the 2204-V?

A: Yes. The 2204-V-RC is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both use through-hole mounting with radial vertical (open) configuration and identical physical dimensions (0.950" Dia × 0.550" W).

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 2204-V is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 2204-V-RC is active and ROHS3 compliant. The "-RC" suffix indicates the revised compliant version.

Q: Does the packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 2204-V is supplied in standard packaging, while the 2204-V-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for through-hole assembly processes.

Q: Are there any performance differences in inductance or current handling?

A: No. Both parts maintain 18 µH inductance with ±15% tolerance and support 10.8 A continuous current with 9 mOhm maximum DC resistance.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 2204-V-RC should be specified for new designs due to its active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and assured long-term availability.
