Bourns 5800-332 3.3 mH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5800-332 is a 3.3 mH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 130 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 8.8 Ohm. This through-hole axial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for general-purpose filtering and energy storage applications in electronic circuits.

The 5800-332 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 legacy systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5800-332 are identified based on matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 3.3 mH (primary functional requirement)
• Inductance tolerance: ±10% or tighter
• Current rating: minimum 130 mA continuous
• DC resistance: maximum 8.8 Ohm
• Core material: Ferrite
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package: Axial
• Operating temperature range: minimum -55°C to 105°C coverage

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with varying degrees of parameter alignment:

5800-332-RC (Bourns Inc.): Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. Differs only in packaging format (Tray vs. standard) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

2474-43L (API Delevan Inc.): Similar inductor with matching inductance and core material. Acceptable as a substitute with noted parameter variations in current rating, DC resistance, tolerance, and saturation current.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5800-332-RC is the primary substitute for the 5800-332. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 5800-332-RC is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability. The 5800-332-RC achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original 5800-332 is non-compliant. Selection of the 5800-332-RC is appropriate for applications requiring regulatory compliance or long-term component availability.

2474-43L (API Delevan Inc.) is an alternative substitute when the 5800-332-RC is unavailable. The 2474-43L maintains the same 3.3 mH inductance value and ferrite core material. Key differences include higher current rating (230 mA vs. 130 mA), lower DC resistance (6.56 Ohm vs. 8.8 Ohm), wider inductance tolerance (±15% vs. ±10%), lower saturation current (110 mA vs. 200 mA), and slightly different physical dimensions. The 2474-43L is active in production and operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The 2474-43L remains RoHS non-compliant. Selection of the 2474-43L requires verification that the lower saturation current (110 mA) does not conflict with circuit requirements, as this represents a constraint relative to the original part's 200 mA saturation specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5800-332-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 5800-332?

A: Yes. The 5800-332-RC is a direct equivalent with identical inductance (3.3 mH), current rating (130 mA), DC resistance (8.8 Ohm max), core material (ferrite), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant). Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What are the key limitations when substituting the 2474-43L for the 5800-332?

A: The 2474-43L differs in three critical parameters: saturation current (110 mA vs. 200 mA), inductance tolerance (±15% vs. ±10%), and physical dimensions (0.240" Dia x 0.740" L vs. 0.275" Dia x 0.700" L). The lower saturation current may limit performance in high-current transient conditions. The wider tolerance may affect circuit precision. Physical dimension differences require verification of PCB layout compatibility and mechanical clearance.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting between these substitutes?

A: The 5800-332 and 5800-332-RC differ in packaging format (standard vs. Tray). The 2474-43L is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format affects procurement quantities, handling, and storage but does not impact electrical performance or circuit functionality. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: The 5800-332-RC is recommended for new designs. It maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 5800-332 while offering active production status and ROHS3 compliance. The 2474-43L is suitable only when the 5800-332-RC is unavailable and circuit requirements accommodate the parameter variations noted above.

Q: Do these substitutes maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: The 5800-332 and 5800-332-RC both operate from -55°C to 105°C. The 2474-43L extends the upper temperature limit to 125°C, providing a wider operating range. Both ranges cover the original specification, making either substitute acceptable from a temperature perspective.
