Bourns 5726 25µH Toroidal Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5726 is a 25µH unshielded toroidal inductor rated for 2.5A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 40mOhm. This through-hole component features an iron powder core and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The 5726 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The 5726-RC variant provides an active production alternative with identical electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Bourns 5726-RC qualifies as a direct functional substitute based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Inductance value and tolerance (25µH ±15%)
• Current rating (2.5A minimum)
• DC resistance specification (40mOhm maximum)
• Core material type (Iron Powder)
• Shielding configuration (Unshielded)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Package configuration (Radial, Vertical Open)

The 5726-RC maintains all critical electrical parameters while offering improved product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and enhanced compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 5726-RC is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 5726 model. Selection of the 5726-RC is supported by:

• Identical electrical performance across all specified parameters
• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability
• ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Equivalent mechanical form factor and through-hole mounting compatibility

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or long-term production support, the 5726-RC is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical functional characteristics for circuit-level substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5726-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 5726?

A: Yes. The 5726-RC provides identical electrical specifications including inductance value, current rating, DC resistance, and operating temperature range. Both components feature the same core material, shielding configuration, and through-hole mounting method.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 5726 is classified as obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status, while the 5726-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification. Electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between the 5726 and 5726-RC?

A: Yes. The 5726 measures 0.875" diameter × 0.437" width (22.22mm × 11.10mm), while the 5726-RC measures 0.550" diameter × 0.220" width (13.97mm × 5.59mm). Both maintain the same radial, vertical open package configuration and through-hole mounting compatibility. PCB layout verification is required when substituting due to dimensional differences.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 5726-RC should be specified for new designs. It provides active product status, improved compliance certification, and equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 5726 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5726-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are through-hole components suitable for automated and manual assembly processes.
