Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 2.7 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±10%
• Current rating: 495 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 500mOhm maximum
• Core material and type: Ferrite drum core, unshielded
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, axial package
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia x 0.300" L
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum

The substitute part 8230-30-RC meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and packaging configuration, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-30-RC is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 8230-30. Both parts share identical electrical specifications and physical form factors, ensuring pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility.

The 8230-30-RC carries active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, the 8230-30-RC meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the original 8230-30 does not. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the 8230-30-RC is the appropriate selection.

The 8230-30-RC is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and logistics considerations compared to standard packaging of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-30-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-30?

A: Yes. The 8230-30-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-30. All critical parameters—inductance, current rating, DC resistance, core type, dimensions, and operating temperature range—are equivalent. The parts are interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from the 8230-30 to the 8230-30-RC?

A: The 8230-30 is obsolete, while the 8230-30-RC maintains active product status. This ensures ongoing availability, supply reliability, and access to current manufacturing processes. Additionally, the 8230-30-RC is ROHS3 compliant, meeting modern environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance. The Q factor, self-resonant frequency, inductance tolerance, and all other functional parameters are the same.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The 8230-30-RC is supplied in bulk packaging, which may influence procurement processes and minimum order quantities but does not impact circuit performance or physical installation.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 8230-30 is RoHS non-compliant. The 8230-30-RC is ROHS3 compliant. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.
