Bourns 9220-06 360µH Inductor: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 9220-06 is a 360 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 102 mA continuous current with 9.6Ω maximum DC resistance. Designed for through-hole axial mounting, this component operates across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitutes essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations where this inductance value and current rating are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Bourns 9220-06 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 360 µH (exact match required)
• Inductance Tolerance: ±5% (matching tolerance specification)
• DC Resistance: 9.6Ω maximum (critical for circuit performance)
• Current Rating: Minimum 102 mA (substitute must meet or exceed this requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (full range compatibility)
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole axial (mechanical compatibility)
• Shielding Classification: Unshielded (electromagnetic environment compatibility)

The API Delevan 2500-06J meets all substitution criteria. While it employs molded construction versus drum core design, and iron core material versus ferrite, these construction differences do not affect the electrical equivalence when all specified parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan 2500-06J is a direct electrical substitute for the obsolete Bourns 9220-06. Both components maintain identical inductance, tolerance, DC resistance, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute provides superior current capacity (115 mA versus 102 mA), ensuring adequate margin in applications requiring the original 102 mA rating.

Physical dimensions differ, with the 2500-06J measuring larger in both diameter and length. PCB layout and mechanical clearance verification is required prior to implementation. The 2500-06J is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete Bourns part.

Both components carry identical RoHS non-compliance and REACH unaffected designations. No compliance advantage exists between the two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 2500-06J be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 9220-06?

A: Yes. Both components share identical inductance (360 µH), tolerance (±5%), DC resistance (9.6Ω max), current rating (2500-06J exceeds minimum 102 mA requirement at 115 mA), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and axial through-hole mounting configuration. Electrical substitution is valid.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two inductors?

A: The Bourns 9220-06 uses drum core wirewound construction with ferrite material. The API Delevan 2500-06J uses molded construction with iron core material. These construction differences do not affect electrical performance when all specified parameters match.

Q: Will the larger physical dimensions of the 2500-06J cause compatibility issues?

A: The 2500-06J measures 0.240" diameter × 0.740" length compared to the 9220-06 at 0.190" diameter × 0.440" length. PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be verified for each application. Footprint compatibility cannot be assumed without design review.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both components are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. No compliance advantage exists between the two parts.

Q: Why is the Bourns 9220-06 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The API Delevan 2500-06J remains in active production, providing a viable path for continued system support and new designs.
