Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Bourns 8230-16 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 680 nH with ±10% tolerance
• Current rating: 450 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 600 mOhm maximum
• Q factor: 28 @ 25 MHz
• Self resonant frequency: 275 MHz
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Core material: Phenolic
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Mounting and package: Through-hole axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia × 0.300" L

The Bourns 8230-16-RC meets all these criteria as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent, with identical specifications across all functional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 8230-16-RC is the direct substitute for the obsolete 8230-16. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all functional parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 8230-16-RC carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Additionally, the 8230-16-RC meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the original 8230-16 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the 8230-16-RC is the appropriate selection.

Both parts maintain equivalent performance in circuit applications requiring 680 nH inductance at 450 mA current levels with phenolic core construction and unshielded configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-16-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-16?

A: Yes. The 8230-16-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-16 across all specified parameters, including inductance, current rating, DC resistance, Q factor, frequency response, temperature range, core material, and physical dimensions. Both are through-hole axial components with identical footprints.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-16 and 8230-16-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 8230-16 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 8230-16-RC is an active product that meets ROHS3 compliance standards. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8230-16 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 8230-16-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain the same physical dimensions and axial through-hole configuration. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution for this inductor?

A: Substitution is determined by matching inductance (680 nH ±10%), current rating (450 mA), DC resistance (600 mOhm max), Q factor (28 @ 25 MHz), self resonant frequency (275 MHz), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), core material (phenolic), shielding (unshielded), and through-hole axial package configuration with identical physical dimensions.

Q: Is the 8230-16-RC suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 8230-16-RC is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications and systems requiring adherence to current environmental and regulatory standards. The original 8230-16 is RoHS non-compliant.
