Bourns 5800-220 22µH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5800-220 is a 22 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 1.7 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 51 mOhm. This through-hole axial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for applications requiring fixed inductance in compact form factors.

The 5800-220 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for systems utilizing this inductor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5800-220 are identified based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Inductance value: 22 µH (exact match required)
• Core material: Ferrite
• Mounting type: Through hole axial
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -55°C to 105°C coverage
• Inductance test frequency: 1 kHz

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 1.7 A
• DC resistance: Equal to or less than 51 mOhm
• Tolerance: ±10% to ±15%
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations acceptable within axial package constraints

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. 5800-220-RC (Bourns Inc.) – Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical specifications and active product status
2. 2474-17L (API Delevan Inc.) – Similar inductor with enhanced current rating and comparable DC resistance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5800-220-RC (Bourns Inc.) – Recommended Direct Substitute

The 5800-220-RC is the optimal substitute for the obsolete 5800-220. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 22 µH inductance, ±10% tolerance, 1.7 A current rating, and 51 mOhm maximum DC resistance. The 5800-220-RC maintains the same physical dimensions and operating temperature range. The primary advantage is active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Packaging differs (tray versus bulk), but electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

2474-17L (API Delevan Inc.) – Alternative Substitute

The 2474-17L provides a viable alternative when 5800-220-RC availability is constrained. This part maintains the 22 µH inductance specification and unshielded axial configuration. The 2474-17L offers enhanced current rating (2.66 A versus 1.7 A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). DC resistance is comparable at 50 mOhm maximum. Tolerance is ±15% versus ±10%, and the core construction differs (molded versus drum core). Physical dimensions show minor variations (0.240" Dia × 0.740" L). The 2474-17L is active and available in bulk packaging. This substitute is suitable for applications where the higher current rating and extended temperature range provide design margin.

Compliance Considerations

The 5800-220-RC is ROHS3 compliant, supporting modern regulatory requirements. The 2474-17L is RoHS non-compliant. Selection should account for end-product compliance obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5800-220-RC directly replace the 5800-220 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The 5800-220-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 5800-220. No circuit modifications are required. The only difference is packaging format (tray versus bulk) and product status (active versus obsolete).

Q: What are the key differences between the 5800-220-RC and 2474-17L?

A: Both maintain 22 µH inductance and unshielded axial configuration. The 5800-220-RC matches the original 5800-220 exactly in electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The 2474-17L offers higher current rating (2.66 A), extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and molded core construction instead of drum core. Tolerance is ±15% versus ±10%. Physical dimensions are slightly different.

Q: Can I use the 2474-17L in place of the 5800-220?

A: The 2474-17L is electrically compatible for applications operating at or below 1.7 A continuous current. The inductance value, DC resistance, and unshielded configuration match design requirements. However, the molded core type, ±15% tolerance, and different physical dimensions should be evaluated against circuit layout constraints and tolerance requirements. The higher saturation current rating (2.66 A) provides additional design margin.

Q: What is the impact of the ±15% tolerance on the 2474-17L compared to the ±10% tolerance of the 5800-220?

A: The 2474-17L tolerance band is wider. For a 22 µH nominal value, the 5800-220 ranges 19.8 µH to 24.2 µH, while the 2474-17L ranges 18.7 µH to 25.3 µH. Applications with tight inductance requirements should verify that the wider tolerance is acceptable for circuit performance.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Yes. The 5800-220 and 5800-220-RC are supplied in different packaging (bulk versus tray). The 2474-17L is supplied in bulk. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly processes and procurement workflows. Physical dimensions differ slightly between the 5800-220/5800-220-RC and the 2474-17L; confirm PCB layout accommodates the 2474-17L if selected.

Q: What is the saturation current difference between these inductors?

A: The 5800-220 and 5800-220-RC have saturation current (Isat) of 2.4 A. The 2474-17L has Isat of 1.4 A. Saturation current defines the threshold above which inductance degrades. Applications with current transients or peak currents approaching these limits should account for this parameter.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 5800-220-RC is preferred due to active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and identical electrical specifications to the original 5800-220. The 2474-17L is suitable when higher current rating or extended temperature range provides design advantage and tolerance variation is acceptable.
