Bourns 8230-86 560µH Wirewound Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 8230-86 is a 560 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 48 mA continuous current with 46Ω maximum DC resistance. This through-hole axial component operates across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range and is designed for applications requiring stable inductance at 790 kHz test frequency.

The 8230-86 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and design continuity. The substitute part 8230-86-RC provides functional equivalence with current product availability and improved compliance status.

The 8230-86-RC maintains full functional equivalence while offering active product status and improved regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-86-RC is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 8230-86. Selection criteria are based on product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

For New Designs: Specify 8230-86-RC. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The 8230-86-RC provides drop-in replacement capability with identical form factor, pinout, and performance characteristics. No circuit modifications are required.

Compliance Advantage: The 8230-86-RC carries ROHS3 compliance status, whereas the 8230-86 is non-compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-86-RC directly replace the 8230-86 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 8230-86-RC is a direct substitute with identical inductance (560 µH), current rating (48 mA), DC resistance (46Ω), and physical dimensions (0.120" Dia × 0.300" L). No circuit redesign is necessary.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 8230-86 to 8230-86-RC?

A: The 8230-86 is obsolete with no active manufacturing. The 8230-86-RC is the active equivalent part from Bourns Inc., ensuring ongoing supply chain availability and regulatory compliance.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 560 µH inductance at ±10% tolerance, 48 mA current rating, 46Ω maximum DC resistance, Q factor of 30 @ 790 kHz, and 5 MHz self resonant frequency.

Q: Do these parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both use axial through-hole mounting with identical dimensions of 0.120" diameter by 0.300" length (3.05mm × 7.62mm). PCB layout and mechanical assembly remain unchanged.

Q: What is the compliance difference between the two parts?

A: The 8230-86-RC is ROHS3 compliant, while the 8230-86 is RoHS non-compliant. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for the 8230-86?

A: The 8230-86 shows 1151 pieces in stock as new original inventory. However, given its obsolete status, long-term availability is not guaranteed. The 8230-86-RC with 774 pieces in stock represents the active production alternative.
