Bourns 8230-66 82µH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-66 is a 82 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 130 mA with a maximum DC resistance of 7.3Ω. This through-hole axial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for applications requiring fixed inductance values in compact form factors.

The 8230-66 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production, repair, and redesign applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-66-RC serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 8230-66. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 8230-66-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original 8230-66 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and production applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 8230-66-RC is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part meets the functional requirements.

Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-66-RC directly replace the 8230-66 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8230-66-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-66. All inductance, current, resistance, frequency, and dimensional specifications are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 8230-66 and 8230-66-RC?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. The 8230-66 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 8230-66-RC is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Functionally, both parts are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 8230-66 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 8230-66-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use the same axial through-hole component format with identical physical dimensions.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production?

A: The 8230-66-RC should be selected for new production. It is an active product with current manufacturer support and regulatory compliance certification.

Q: Do these inductors require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: Both parts are not subject to moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements. Standard component storage practices apply.
