Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-04 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 220 nH
• Inductance tolerance: ±10%
• Current rating: 935 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 140 mOhm maximum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Package configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia × 0.300" L
• Core material: Phenolic
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded

The Bourns 8230-04-RC meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and core construction. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 8230-04-RC is the direct substitute for the obsolete 8230-04. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters.

The 8230-04-RC offers two significant advantages for new designs and ongoing production:

1. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain support from Bourns Inc.
2. RoHS3 compliance satisfies current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution in regulated markets.

For applications where the original 8230-04 is currently deployed, the 8230-04-RC provides drop-in compatibility without circuit redesign or performance modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-04-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-04?

A: Yes. The 8230-04-RC is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 8230-04. All electrical parameters, physical dimensions, and mounting characteristics are identical. The component can be substituted without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-04 and 8230-04-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 8230-04 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 8230-04-RC is an active product with RoHS3 compliance. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8230-04 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 8230-04-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical component specifications and axial through-hole configuration. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 8230-04-RC?

A: The 8230-04-RC is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8504.50.4000.

Q: Can the 8230-04-RC be used in designs requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 8230-04-RC meets RoHS3 requirements. The original 8230-04 does not. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 8230-04-RC is the appropriate selection.
