Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Bourns 6000-330K is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 33 µH with ±10% tolerance
• Current rating: 2.05 A minimum
• DC resistance: 90 mOhm maximum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial, vertical cylinder
• Physical footprint: 0.354" diameter, 0.480" maximum height
• Core type: Ferrite, unshielded drum core
• Frequency characteristics: Q of 30 @ 2.52 MHz, self-resonant frequency of 7.8 MHz

The direct substitute 6000-330K-RC maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions while offering improved compliance status and higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6000-330K-RC serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 6000-330K. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and physical compatibility. The primary distinction lies in regulatory compliance and product lifecycle status.

The 6000-330K-RC offers RoHS3 compliance, whereas the original 6000-330K is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 6000-330K-RC is the appropriate selection. The substitute part's "Not For New Designs" status indicates it remains available for legacy system support and maintenance, with significantly higher stock levels (3375 units versus 760 units).

Both parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory treatment in export and supply chain contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6000-330K-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 6000-330K?

A: Yes. The 6000-330K-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 6000-330K across all specified parameters, including inductance, current rating, DC resistance, frequency characteristics, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 6000-330K is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6000-330K-RC is classified as "Not For New Designs" and RoHS3 compliant. Inventory availability also differs, with the substitute offering higher stock levels.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole radial, vertical cylinder packaging with the same physical footprint (0.354" diameter, 0.480" maximum height). PCB layout and assembly procedures remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should be selected for new applications?

A: Neither part is recommended for new designs. The 6000-330K is obsolete, and the 6000-330K-RC carries a "Not For New Designs" designation. Both are suitable for legacy system maintenance and replacement applications only.

Q: Does RoHS3 compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance reflects material composition and environmental standards but does not alter the electrical specifications, frequency response, or thermal characteristics of the inductor.
