Bourns 8230-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-06 is a 270 nH unshielded wirewound inductor rated for 875 mA with a maximum DC resistance of 160 mOhm. This through-hole axial component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and features a phenolic core with ±10% inductance tolerance. The 8230-06 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Bourns 8230-06 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for inductance value (270 nH), inductance tolerance (±10%), current rating (875 mA), DC resistance (160 mOhm maximum), core material (phenolic), shielding configuration (unshielded), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), mounting type (through hole), and package form (axial). The self-resonant frequency (430 MHz) and Q factor at 25 MHz (33) must also be preserved. Physical dimensions (0.120" diameter × 0.300" length) must remain consistent to ensure mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts. Packaging format differences (tape and reel versus bulk) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and therefore do not preclude substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 8230-06-RC is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete 8230-06. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. within the 8230 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the 8230-06-RC is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, whereas the 8230-06 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring compliance with current environmental regulations, the 8230-06-RC is the appropriate selection. Both parts are functionally interchangeable in existing circuit applications where the specified electrical characteristics and through-hole axial form factor are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-06-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-06 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8230-06-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-06 across all specified parameters, including inductance, current rating, DC resistance, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-06 and 8230-06-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 8230-06 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 8230-06-RC is an active product that meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. The 8230-06 is supplied in standard packaging while the 8230-06-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. Both parts are compatible in the same circuit application.

Q: Are there any temperature or frequency limitations when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the specified temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and maintain the same self-resonant frequency of 430 MHz and Q factor of 33 at 25 MHz.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 8230-06-RC?

A: The 8230-06-RC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. It carries an ECCN classification of EAR99 and HTSUS code 8504.50.4000.
