Bourns 8230-24 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-24 is a 1.5 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 745 mA with a maximum DC resistance of 220mOhm. This through-hole axial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for applications requiring fixed inductance in compact form factors.

The 8230-24 carries an obsolete product status, making substitute identification critical for ongoing production support and design continuity. The availability of active equivalent parts ensures design teams can maintain functionality without redesign requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Bourns 8230-24 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

  • Inductance value: 1.5 µH with ±10% tolerance
  • Current rating: 745 mA minimum
  • DC resistance: 220mOhm maximum
  • Core material and type: Ferrite drum core, unshielded
  • Frequency characteristics: Q factor of 28 @ 7.9 MHz and self-resonant frequency of 140 MHz
  • Physical form factor: Axial through-hole mounting with 0.120" diameter x 0.300" length dimensions
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C

The 8230-24-RC qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-24-RC serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 8230-24. Selection of the 8230-24-RC is supported by:

  • Complete electrical parameter equivalence across inductance, current rating, DC resistance, and frequency characteristics
  • Identical mechanical form factor and through-hole mounting compatibility
  • Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
  • ROHS3 compliance of the 8230-24-RC, providing regulatory advantage over the non-compliant original part
  • Maintained REACH unaffected status across both variants

For applications currently using the 8230-24, direct substitution with the 8230-24-RC requires no circuit modifications or design changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-24-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-24?

A: Yes. The 8230-24-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-24 across all specified parameters. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-24 and 8230-24-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 8230-24 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 8230-24-RC is active and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8230-24 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 8230-24-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical component specifications and form factors.

Q: What parameters must match for a part to substitute for the 8230-24?

A: Critical matching parameters include 1.5 µH inductance with ±10% tolerance, 745 mA current rating, 220mOhm maximum DC resistance, ferrite drum core construction, unshielded configuration, axial through-hole mounting, and 0.120" diameter x 0.300" length dimensions.

Q: Is the 8230-24-RC suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. The 8230-24-RC maintains the full -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range of the original 8230-24.
