Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-62 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 56 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±10%
• Current rating: 145 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 5.7 Ohm maximum
• Core material: Ferrite
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Package style: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia x 0.300" L (3.05 mm x 7.62 mm)

The 8230-62-RC variant meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the Bourns 8230 series. Differences in product status and packaging configuration do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-62-RC is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 8230-62. Both components share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions, ensuring pin-compatible replacement in through-hole applications.

The primary distinction is product status: the 8230-62-RC maintains active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original 8230-62 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the 8230-62-RC is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where original specifications must be preserved, the 8230-62-RC provides electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering improved compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-62-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-62?

A: Yes. The 8230-62-RC is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both components feature identical inductance (56 µH), current rating (145 mA), DC resistance (5.7 Ohm max), core material (ferrite), and physical dimensions (0.120" Dia x 0.300" L). Through-hole axial mounting is identical, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-62 and 8230-62-RC?

A: The components are functionally identical. The 8230-62-RC differs in product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 compliant vs. non-compliant). Packaging configuration also differs (bulk vs. standard), but this does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there any temperature or frequency limitations when substituting the 8230-62-RC?

A: No. Both components operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and maintain the same frequency characteristics (Q of 45 @ 2.5 MHz, self-resonant frequency of 18 MHz). Substitution does not introduce thermal or frequency-related constraints.

Q: Does the 8230-62-RC meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 8230-62-RC carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is REACH unaffected. The original 8230-62 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS or similar regulatory frameworks, the 8230-62-RC is the compliant selection.

Q: Can the 8230-62-RC be used in legacy systems designed for the 8230-62?

A: Yes. Electrical performance, mechanical fit, and thermal operating range are identical. The 8230-62-RC is suitable for repair, maintenance, and retrofit applications involving legacy systems originally specified with the 8230-62.
