Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Bourns 8107-RC qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 2 mH @ 1 kHz (identical)
• Number of lines: 2 (identical)
• Current rating: 6.6A (identical)
• DC resistance: 22mOhm maximum (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C (identical)
• Mounting type: Through hole (identical)
• Physical dimensions: 1.200" L x 0.600" W, 1.200" height (identical)
• Package configuration: Vertical, 4 PC pin (identical)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (identical)

The 8107-RC maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 8107, differing only in product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 8107-RC is the direct replacement for the obsolete Bourns 8107. Both components share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in through-hole PCB applications.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the 8107 is obsolete, while the 8107-RC is active and currently manufactured. The 8107-RC additionally meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the 8107 is RoHS non-compliant. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

For new designs or component replenishment, the 8107-RC should be specified. Existing inventory of the 8107 remains functionally equivalent for applications where RoHS compliance is not a contractual requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Bourns 8107-RC be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 8107?

A: Yes. The 8107-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8107. Both components feature 2 mH inductance, 6.6A current rating, 22mOhm DCR, and identical through-hole mounting configuration with vertical 4-pin package.

Q: What is the difference between the Bourns 8107 and 8107-RC?

A: The 8107 is obsolete; the 8107-RC is active production. The 8107-RC meets ROHS3 compliance, while the 8107 does not. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8107 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 8107-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and are suitable for through-hole assembly.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental standards, not electrical characteristics. Both the 8107 and 8107-RC deliver identical inductance, current handling, and DC resistance specifications.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The Bourns 8107 has 772 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The Bourns 8107-RC has 2158 pieces in stock (active status).
