Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 8230-90 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 820 µH
• Current rating: 40 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 65 Ohm maximum
• Core type: Ferrite, unshielded drum core
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, axial package
• Physical dimensions: 0.120" Dia x 0.300" L
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Tolerance: ±10%

The substitute part 8230-90-RC maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original component, with the primary distinction being packaging format and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8230-90-RC serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 8230-90. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The 8230-90-RC is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support and availability. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original 8230-90 is RoHS non-compliant. Both components maintain REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Selection of the 8230-90-RC is appropriate for applications requiring the specified inductance, current rating, and thermal operating range. The bulk packaging format of the substitute part accommodates production environments requiring higher component volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 8230-90-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 8230-90?

A: Yes. The 8230-90-RC maintains identical inductance (820 µH), current rating (40 mA), DC resistance (65 Ohm maximum), core material (ferrite), shielding configuration (unshielded), physical dimensions (0.120" Dia x 0.300" L), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). Both components are axial through-hole mounted inductors within the Bourns 8230 series.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 8230-90-RC is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance certification and bulk packaging format. The 8230-90 is classified as obsolete. Electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting the 8230-90-RC?

A: The 8230-90-RC is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original 8230-90 uses standard packaging. Both components are identical in physical dimensions and mounting configuration, requiring no PCB layout or assembly process modifications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material composition standards but does not alter the electrical characteristics or performance of the inductor. Both parts deliver equivalent inductance, current handling, and frequency response.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when sourcing?

A: The 8230-90-RC is available as an active product with current manufacturing support. The 8230-90 is obsolete and subject to limited availability. For new designs or ongoing production requirements, the 8230-90-RC is the appropriate selection.
