5616-RC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5616-RC is a 500 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 3.7 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 129 mOhm. This through-hole component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for radial, vertical cylinder mounting. The 5616-RC is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.
