Bourns 5800-6R8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 5800-6R8 is a 6.8 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 2.4 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 26 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 filtering and energy storage in power conversion circuits.

The 5800-6R8 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements for legacy systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 5800-6R8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Must be 6.8 µH (tolerance variations acceptable within engineering margins)
• DC Resistance: Must not exceed 26 mOhm maximum
• Core Material: Ferrite construction required
• Shielding Configuration: Unshielded topology
• Mounting and Package: Through-hole axial configuration
• Current Handling: Minimum 2.4 A continuous rating required

The API Delevan 2474-11L meets these substitution criteria. While it employs molded construction rather than drum core design, it maintains electrical equivalence across all specified parameters and operates within compatible mechanical and thermal boundaries.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan 2474-11L is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Bourns 5800-6R8. The substitute part maintains electrical performance across all critical parameters: identical inductance value, equivalent DC resistance specification, and ferrite core construction.

The 2474-11L offers performance advantages in current handling capacity (3.69 A versus 2.4 A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C), making it suitable for applications with higher thermal or current margins.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete main part.

Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.240" diameter × 0.740" length for the substitute versus 0.275" diameter × 0.700" length for the main part). PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit within existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 2474-11L directly replace the Bourns 5800-6R8 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided PCB footprint and mechanical clearance accommodate the substitute part's dimensions (0.240" Dia × 0.740" L). Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the primary difference between drum core and molded inductor construction?

A: The Bourns 5800-6R8 uses drum core design, while the API Delevan 2474-11L employs molded construction. Both achieve identical electrical specifications for this application. Molded construction typically offers improved mechanical robustness and environmental protection.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the 2474-11L affect circuit performance?

A: No. The substitute part's 3.69 A rating exceeds the 2.4 A requirement, providing additional design margin without altering circuit behavior at specified operating currents.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS and REACH status classifications. No compliance advantages exist between the main part and substitute.

Q: What tolerance difference exists between the inductance specifications?

A: The Bourns 5800-6R8 specifies ±10% tolerance, while the API Delevan 2474-11L specifies ±15%. Both tolerances are acceptable for typical filtering and energy storage applications. Circuit designs requiring tighter inductance control should verify performance margins.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of the 2474-11L beneficial for my application?

A: The substitute part operates to 125°C versus 105°C for the main part. This provides additional thermal margin if your application experiences elevated ambient or component temperatures.
