Bourns 8230-80 330µH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-80 is a 330 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 62 mA continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 28 Ohm. This through-hole axial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for general-purpose filtering and energy storage applications in electronic circuits.

The 8230-80 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components becomes necessary when original stock is depleted or when design requirements mandate compliance with current regulatory standards. The 8230-80-RC provides a direct functional equivalent with improved regulatory compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-80 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 330 µH
• Inductance tolerance: ±10%
• Current rating: 62 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 28 Ohm maximum
• Core material and type: Ferrite drum core, unshielded
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole axial
• Physical envelope: 0.120" diameter × 0.300" length
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum

The 8230-80-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 regulatory compliance posture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-80-RC is the direct functional equivalent of the 8230-80 and provides identical electrical and mechanical performance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Product Availability and Lifecycle: The 8230-80 carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited remaining inventory. The 8230-80-RC maintains active product status with established supply channels.

Regulatory Compliance: The 8230-80-RC is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The 8230-80 is non-compliant with RoHS regulations. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or future regulatory scrutiny, the 8230-80-RC is the appropriate selection.

Packaging Configuration: Both parts are supplied in through-hole axial format suitable for conventional PCB assembly. The 8230-80-RC is available in bulk packaging, while the 8230-80 packaging specification is not detailed.

For new designs or component replenishment, the 8230-80-RC is the recommended selection. For legacy systems requiring exact part number matching, the 8230-80 remains functionally equivalent where regulatory compliance is not a constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-80-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-80 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8230-80-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 8230-80. All electrical parameters, physical dimensions, and mounting characteristics are equivalent. PCB layouts and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from the 8230-80 to the 8230-80-RC?

A: The 8230-80 is obsolete with limited inventory availability. The 8230-80-RC is an active product with established supply. Additionally, the 8230-80-RC is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements, whereas the 8230-80 is non-compliant.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical inductance (330 µH), current rating (62 mA), DC resistance (28 Ohm maximum), Q factor (30 @ 790 kHz), and self-resonant frequency (4 MHz). Operating temperature range is identical at -55°C to 105°C.

Q: What are the physical dimensions, and will the 8230-80-RC fit existing PCB footprints?

A: Both parts measure 0.120 inches in diameter by 0.300 inches in length (3.05 mm × 7.62 mm). The 8230-80-RC is pin-compatible and will fit existing through-hole axial footprints without modification.

Q: Is the 8230-80-RC available in the same packaging as the 8230-80?

A: The 8230-80-RC is supplied in bulk packaging. The original 8230-80 packaging specification is not provided. For high-volume procurement, confirm packaging requirements with the supplier.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance, and does it affect circuit design?

A: Both parts carry ±10% inductance tolerance. Circuit designs must account for this tolerance range in filtering, resonant frequency, and energy storage calculations. The tolerance specification is identical between parts.
