Bourns 5800-562 5.6 mH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5800-562 is a 5.6 mH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 100 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 13.8 Ohm. 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 5800-562 is classified as obsolete. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications. Substitute components must maintain the core inductance value of 5.6 mH while accommodating variations in current rating, DC resistance, and physical dimensions based on application requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5800-562 are grouped based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Inductance value: 5.6 mH (fixed requirement)
• Core material: Ferrite (fixed requirement)
• Mounting type: Through hole axial (fixed requirement)
• Test frequency: 1 kHz (fixed requirement)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Current rating and saturation current (application-dependent; higher ratings provide design margin)
• DC resistance (affects power dissipation; lower values reduce losses)
• Inductance tolerance (±10% to ±15% acceptable depending on circuit requirements)
• Operating temperature range (must meet or exceed application requirements)
• Physical dimensions (must fit PCB layout constraints)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status (regulatory requirements)

Substitutes are classified as direct equivalents when all primary parameters match and secondary parameters remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5800-562-RC (Bourns Inc.) - Direct Equivalent

The 5800-562-RC is the direct replacement for the obsolete 5800-562. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 5.6 mH inductance at ±10% tolerance, 100 mA current rating, 150 mA saturation current, and 13.8 Ohm maximum DC resistance. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are identical. The 5800-562-RC is classified as active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for new designs and production environments with RoHS requirements. Packaging is supplied in trays rather than bulk format.

2474-46L (API Delevan Inc.) - Similar Substitute

The 2474-46L maintains the 5.6 mH inductance value and ferrite core material but differs in construction type (molded versus wirewound) and electrical performance. Current rating is elevated to 180 mA with lower DC resistance of 11.2 Ohm maximum, providing reduced power dissipation. Saturation current is lower at 90 mA. Inductance tolerance is ±15%. Operating temperature range extends to 125°C. Physical dimensions are slightly smaller (0.240" diameter). This component is active and suitable for applications where higher current capacity and lower losses are beneficial, provided the larger tolerance and different construction type are acceptable.

IHD3EB562L (Vishay Dale) - Similar Substitute

The IHD3EB562L provides the highest current rating at 320 mA with the lowest DC resistance at 4.24 Ohm maximum, making it suitable for applications requiring significant current headroom and minimal power dissipation. Saturation current is 240 mA. Inductance tolerance is ±15%. Operating temperature range extends to 125°C. Physical dimensions are substantially larger (0.460" diameter x 0.900" length), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility. This component is active and ROHS3 compliant. Selection is appropriate when thermal management and current margin are design priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5800-562-RC be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 5800-562?

A: Yes. The 5800-562-RC is the direct equivalent with identical electrical and physical specifications. It is the recommended replacement for the obsolete part.

Q: What are the key differences between the 5800-562 and the 2474-46L?

A: Both maintain 5.6 mH inductance and ferrite core material. The 2474-46L uses molded construction versus wirewound, has higher current rating (180 mA versus 100 mA), lower DC resistance (11.2 Ohm versus 13.8 Ohm), and wider inductance tolerance (±15% versus ±10%). Physical dimensions are slightly smaller. Selection depends on whether the application requires the lower losses and higher current capacity of the 2474-46L.

Q: Is the IHD3EB562L compatible with the original 5800-562 design?

A: The IHD3EB562L maintains the 5.6 mH inductance and ferrite core but has significantly different electrical characteristics: 320 mA current rating, 4.24 Ohm DC resistance, and ±15% tolerance. Physical dimensions are substantially larger (0.460" diameter). Compatibility requires verification that the PCB layout accommodates the larger size and that the application benefits from the higher current capacity and lower resistance.

Q: What is the impact of inductance tolerance differences between ±10% and ±15%?

A: Inductance tolerance defines the acceptable range of actual inductance values around the nominal 5.6 mH specification. The 5800-562 and 5800-562-RC guarantee ±10% (5.04 mH to 6.16 mH), while the 2474-46L and IHD3EB562L guarantee ±15% (4.76 mH to 6.44 mH). Applications with tight frequency or impedance requirements may require the tighter ±10% tolerance.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations for substitute selection?

A: The original 5800-562 is RoHS non-compliant. The 5800-562-RC and IHD3EB562L are ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for designs subject to RoHS regulations. The 2474-46L is RoHS non-compliant. Regulatory requirements determine whether compliant substitutes are necessary.

Q: How do DC resistance differences affect circuit performance?

A: DC resistance causes power dissipation and voltage drop across the inductor. The 5800-562 has 13.8 Ohm maximum resistance. The 2474-46L reduces this to 11.2 Ohm, and the IHD3EB562L to 4.24 Ohm. Lower resistance reduces heat generation and improves efficiency, particularly in high-current applications. Selection depends on power budget and thermal constraints.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The 5800-562-RC is supplied in trays. The 2474-46L and IHD3EB562L are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and integration into production workflows.
