Bourns 5613-RC 50µH 10A Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5613-RC is a 50µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 10A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 17mOhm. This through-hole radial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is part of the 5600 series. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring this inductance value and current rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Hammond Manufacturing 1539M13 qualifies as a direct substitute for the Bourns 5613-RC based on the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Both parts are rated at 50µH with ±10% tolerance
• Current Rating: Both support 10A continuous current
• DC Resistance: Both maintain 17mOhm maximum DC resistance
• Core Material: Both use ferrite drum core construction
• Shielding Configuration: Both are unshielded designs
• Mounting and Package: Both are through-hole radial vertical cylinder packages with identical physical dimensions (1.220" diameter, 1.110" height)
• Inductance Test Frequency: Both measured at 1 kHz

The substitution is valid where these electrical and mechanical parameters are the controlling design criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Hammond Manufacturing 1539M13 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Bourns 5613-RC. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity. The Hammond part maintains active product status, providing assured availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete Bourns component. Physical dimensions are equivalent within manufacturing tolerance, and all critical electrical parameters—inductance, current rating, and DC resistance—are identical. The substitute is suitable for direct replacement in through-hole PCB applications where the 50µH, 10A, 17mOhm specification is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Hammond 1539M13 be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 5613-RC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Hammond 1539M13 matches all specified electrical parameters (50µH inductance, 10A current rating, 17mOhm DC resistance) and physical dimensions (radial vertical cylinder package, 1.220" diameter, 1.110" height). PCB footprints and through-hole spacing are compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Bourns 5613-RC is obsolete. The Hammond 1539M13 is an active product with equivalent specifications and assured long-term availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.8000) codes.

Q: Do the physical dimensions differ?

A: Dimensions are equivalent. The diameter specification is 1.220" (31.00mm for Bourns, 30.99mm for Hammond), which falls within standard manufacturing tolerance. Height is identical at 1.110" (28.19mm).

Q: What inductance tolerance should be expected?

A: Both parts are specified at ±10% tolerance, measured at 1 kHz. Circuit designs must account for this tolerance range in inductance value.

Q: Is the unshielded configuration suitable for my application?

A: Both parts are unshielded drum core inductors. If shielding is required, alternative part families must be evaluated. Unshielded designs are appropriate for applications where magnetic field coupling or EMI considerations do not require containment.
