Bourns 2306-V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 2306-V is a 27 µH unshielded toroidal inductor rated for 15.6 A continuous current with 8mOhm maximum DC resistance. This through-hole component features an iron powder core and is designed for radial, vertical mounting in applications requiring fixed inductance values with moderate current handling capability.

The 2306-V carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this inductor specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2306-V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 27 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±15%
• Current rating: 15.6 A minimum
• DC resistance: 8 mOhm maximum
• Core material: Iron powder
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Package form: Radial, vertical (open)
• Physical dimensions: 1.280" diameter × 0.650" width
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C

Only parts meeting all these specifications are classified as direct substitutes. The 2306-V-RC satisfies all substitution criteria and is listed as the direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2306-V-RC is the direct functional equivalent to the 2306-V. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. within the 2300 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 2306-V is classified as obsolete, while the 2306-V-RC maintains active product status. The 2306-V-RC additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 2306-V is RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this inductor specification, the 2306-V-RC is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 2306-V must be retained, the 2306-V-RC provides electrical and mechanical interchangeability with improved regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2306-V-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 2306-V in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2306-V-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 2306-V. Both parts deliver 27 µH inductance at 15.6 A with 8 mOhm maximum DC resistance. Physical dimensions and mounting configuration are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution without layout modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 2306-V and 2306-V-RC?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The 2306-V-RC differs in product status (active versus obsolete) and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 compliant versus RoHS non-compliant). Packaging is supplied in bulk format for the 2306-V-RC.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 2306-V-RC for the 2306-V?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are through-hole mounted inductors with identical electrical performance, current ratings, temperature operating range, and physical footprint. The 2306-V-RC is a direct form-fit-function replacement.

Q: Why is the 2306-V marked as obsolete?

A: The 2306-V has reached end-of-life status within Bourns' product portfolio. The 2306-V-RC represents the active continuation of this inductor specification and is the recommended part for current procurement.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the 2306-V-RC affect electrical performance?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance is a regulatory and material composition designation. It does not alter the electrical characteristics, inductance value, current rating, or DC resistance of the 2306-V-RC. Performance remains identical to the 2306-V.
