Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 8230-54-RC qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Inductance value: 27 µH (exact match)
• Current rating: 185 mA (exact match)
• DC resistance: 4.6Ohm maximum (exact match)
• Inductance tolerance: ±10% (exact match)
• Core type: Ferrite drum core, unshielded (exact match)
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole axial (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia x 0.300" L (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match)

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and compliance certification, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-54-RC is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 8230-54. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The 8230-54-RC offers the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory adherence. For legacy system maintenance where the original 8230-54 is specified, the 8230-54-RC provides pin-for-pin and functionally equivalent performance without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-54-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-54?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching inductance (27 µH), current rating (185 mA), DC resistance (4.6Ohm max), and physical dimensions (0.120" Dia x 0.300" L). The 8230-54-RC is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-54 and 8230-54-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 8230-54 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 8230-54-RC is active and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8230-54 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 8230-54-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain the same axial through-hole configuration and physical dimensions.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 8230-54-RC?

A: The 8230-54-RC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8504.50.4000.

Q: Can these inductors be used in high-frequency applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operation up to 22MHz self-resonant frequency with Q factor of 50 at 2.5MHz, supporting RF and high-frequency circuit applications within the specified current and temperature limits.
