Bourns 5800-5R6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5800-5R6 is a 5.6 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 2.5 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 23 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 5800-5R6 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute components must maintain the same inductance value, mounting configuration, and electrical performance within acceptable tolerance ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Bourns 5800-5R6 is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

  • Inductance value: 5.6 µH (exact match required)
  • Mounting type: Through hole axial configuration
  • Core material: Ferrite
  • Shielding classification: Unshielded
  • Inductance test frequency: 1 kHz

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

  • Current rating: Must meet or exceed 2.5 A minimum
  • DC resistance: Must not exceed 23 mOhm maximum
  • Operating temperature range: Must cover or exceed -55°C to 105°C
  • Inductance tolerance: ±15% or better acceptable

The API Delevan 2474-10L qualifies as a substitute based on matching inductance, core material, shielding type, mounting configuration, and test frequency. Differences in construction type (molded versus drum core) and saturation current do not preclude substitution when electrical performance parameters remain within acceptable limits.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan 2474-10L serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Bourns 5800-5R6 based on electrical parameter alignment. Both components share identical inductance values, ferrite core construction, unshielded configuration, and axial through-hole mounting. The 2474-10L provides superior current handling capability (3.84 A versus 2.5 A) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C), making it suitable for applications previously served by the 5800-5R6.

DC resistance specifications remain within acceptable limits, with the 2474-10L at 24 mOhm maximum compared to the original 23 mOhm maximum. The slightly wider inductance tolerance of ±15% versus ±10% is acceptable for most circuit applications where the original tolerance was not a critical design constraint.

Both components maintain identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. Physical dimensions differ slightly, with the 2474-10L featuring a smaller diameter (0.240" versus 0.275") and marginally longer length (0.740" versus 0.700"), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility in space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 2474-10L be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 5800-5R6?

A: Yes. Both components share the same 5.6 µH inductance value, ferrite core material, unshielded construction, and axial through-hole mounting configuration. Electrical parameters remain compatible within specified tolerances.

Q: What are the key differences between these two inductors?

A: The primary differences are construction type (drum core wirewound versus molded), current rating (2.5 A versus 3.84 A), saturation current (5 A versus 2.7 A), inductance tolerance (±10% versus ±15%), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions. The 2474-10L offers higher current capacity and wider temperature range.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting the 2474-10L for the 5800-5R6?

A: Yes. The 2474-10L has a smaller diameter (0.240" versus 0.275") but is slightly longer (0.740" versus 0.700"). Verify that the component footprint and clearance requirements are compatible with existing PCB designs before implementation.

Q: Do both components have the same compliance certifications?

A: Both the Bourns 5800-5R6 and API Delevan 2474-10L are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance status is identical between the two components.

Q: Which component should be selected for new designs?

A: The API Delevan 2474-10L is the appropriate choice for new designs, as the Bourns 5800-5R6 carries obsolete product status. The 2474-10L provides equivalent functionality with enhanced current handling and temperature range capabilities.

Q: What is the impact of the inductance tolerance difference?

A: The 2474-10L tolerance of ±15% is wider than the original ±10%. For applications where inductance precision is critical, circuit performance must be evaluated against the broader tolerance band. Most general-purpose applications tolerate this difference without design modification.
