Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 6701-RC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: Must be 10 µH with ±15% tolerance
• Core Type: Iron powder construction required for electromagnetic performance matching
• Shielding: Shielded configuration mandatory
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole radial/vertical orientation
• Current Rating: Minimum 11 A to support circuit requirements
• DC Resistance: Maximum 8mOhm to maintain thermal and efficiency specifications
• Test Frequency: 1 kHz measurement standard

The API Delevan PT10-990 meets all substitution criteria with equivalent inductance, core material, shielding, mounting type, and DC resistance specifications. The PT10-990 provides enhanced current capacity at 13.2 A, exceeding the minimum requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan PT10-990 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the Bourns 6701-RC. Both components share identical inductance values, tolerance specifications, core materials, shielding configurations, and DC resistance ratings. The PT10-990 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability for replacement and new applications.

The PT10-990 provides superior current handling capacity at 13.2 A compared to the 6701-RC rating of 11 A, offering additional thermal margin in current-limited applications. Physical dimensions differ slightly between the two components; verification of PCB layout compatibility is necessary prior to implementation.

Compliance considerations: The 6701-RC carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while the PT10-990 is RoHS non-compliant. Both components are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8504.50.4000.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PT10-990 directly replace the 6701-RC in existing designs?

A: The PT10-990 matches all critical electrical parameters including inductance, tolerance, core material, shielding, and DC resistance. Physical dimensions differ; confirm PCB footprint compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the PT10-990?

A: The PT10-990 is rated for 13.2 A versus the 6701-RC at 11 A. This provides additional thermal headroom and allows operation at higher current levels without saturation concerns.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these components?

A: The 6701-RC is RoHS3 compliant while the PT10-990 is RoHS non-compliant. Both are REACH unaffected. Compliance requirements for your application determine which component is appropriate.

Q: Why is the 6701-RC classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The PT10-990 remains in active production, providing assured supply for ongoing requirements.

Q: Do the physical dimension differences affect circuit performance?

A: Physical dimensions do not affect electrical performance. Verify that the PT10-990 dimensions (0.990" Dia x 0.400" W x height unspecified) fit within your PCB layout constraints before implementation.
