Bourns 8230-08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-08 is a 330 nH unshielded wirewound inductor rated for 780 mA with a maximum DC resistance of 200 mOhm, designed for through-hole axial mounting. This component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and exhibits a self-resonant frequency of 410 MHz with a Q factor of 30 at 25 MHz.

The 8230-08 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain reliability, and support ongoing production or repair requirements for legacy systems utilizing this inductor specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-08 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 330 nH with ±10% tolerance
• Current rating: 780 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 200 mOhm maximum
• Wirewound construction with phenolic core
• Unshielded configuration
• Through-hole axial mounting
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" diameter × 0.300" length
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Q factor and self-resonant frequency characteristics

The Bourns 8230-08-RC meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 8230-08-RC is the direct substitute for the obsolete 8230-08. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions.

The 8230-08-RC offers two significant advantages:

1. Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
2. ROHS3 compliance satisfies current regulatory requirements, whereas the 8230-08 is RoHS non-compliant

For new designs or production requiring this inductor specification, the 8230-08-RC is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 8230-08 is specified, the 8230-08-RC provides electrical and mechanical equivalence with improved compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-08-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-08?

A: Yes. The 8230-08-RC is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 8230-08. Both parts feature identical inductance (330 nH), current rating (780 mA), DC resistance (200 mOhm), core material (phenolic), shielding (unshielded), and physical dimensions (0.120" Dia × 0.300" L). They are interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-08 and 8230-08-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 8230-08 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 8230-08-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Packaging differs: the 8230-08 uses standard packaging, and the 8230-08-RC is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts exhibit identical electrical performance characteristics, including Q factor (30 @ 25 MHz), self-resonant frequency (410 MHz), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C).

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 8230-08-RC should be specified for new designs. It is an active product with current regulatory compliance and ensures long-term supply availability.

Q: Is the 8230-08-RC suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 8230-08-RC is ROHS3 compliant and meets current environmental and regulatory standards. The original 8230-08 is not RoHS compliant.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both the 8230-08 and 8230-08-RC have identical axial dimensions of 0.120" diameter × 0.300" length (3.05mm × 7.62mm) and are compatible with the same through-hole mounting footprints.
