Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Bourns 5725-RC serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 5725 model. Substitution is valid based on the following matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 8 mH (identical)
• Inductance tolerance: ±15% (identical)
• Current rating: 1 A (identical)
• DC resistance: 3.34 Ohm Max (identical)
• Core material: Iron Powder (identical)
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded (identical)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package type: Radial, Vertical (Open) (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (identical)
• Inductance test frequency: 1 kHz (identical)

The 5725-RC maintains electrical equivalence while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5725-RC is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with the Bourns 5725. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 5725-RC offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, the 5725-RC achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original 5725 is non-compliant with RoHS regulations. For new designs or redesigns of existing applications, the 5725-RC is the specified equivalent part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5725-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 5725?

A: Yes. The 5725-RC is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 5725 across all specified parameters, including inductance, current rating, DC resistance, core material, shielding, mounting type, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 5725 and 5725-RC?

A: The 5725-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 5725 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 5725-RC is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The parts differ in overall dimensions. The 5725 measures 0.875" diameter by 0.437" width (22.22mm x 11.10mm), while the 5725-RC measures 2.125" diameter by 0.937" width (53.97mm x 23.80mm). PCB layout and mounting clearance must be verified for the larger 5725-RC footprint.
