Bourns 8230-10 390nH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-10 is a 390 nH unshielded wirewound inductor rated for 640 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 300mOhm. This axial through-hole component features a phenolic core and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The 8230-10 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and design continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors to ensure direct replacement capability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

  • Inductance value: 390 nH with ±10% tolerance
  • Current rating: 640 mA minimum
  • DC resistance: 300mOhm maximum
  • Core material: Phenolic
  • Shielding configuration: Unshielded
  • Package style: Axial through-hole
  • Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia x 0.300" L
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
  • Q factor and self-resonant frequency characteristics

The 8230-10-RC variant meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging configuration, not functional performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-10-RC is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 8230-10. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics and mechanical specifications. The 8230-10-RC maintains active product status with current manufacturing availability. The 8230-10-RC carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original 8230-10 is non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and supply chain considerations. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 8230-10-RC is the appropriate choice. Both parts are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly and operate within the same temperature and frequency parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-10-RC directly replace the 8230-10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8230-10-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-10. Both parts feature 390 nH inductance, 640 mA current rating, 300mOhm maximum DC resistance, and identical physical dimensions. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-10 and 8230-10-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 8230-10 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 8230-10-RC is active production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. The standard and bulk packaging options do not alter the electrical characteristics or performance of the inductor. Packaging differences relate only to supply and handling methods.

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

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range and maintain the same Q factor (30 @ 25MHz) and self-resonant frequency (380MHz).

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 8230-10-RC carries ROHS3 compliance. The 8230-10 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.
