Bourns 9220-14 Fixed Inductor: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 9220-14 is a 500 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 93 mA maximum current with 11.6Ohm DC resistance. Designed for through-hole axial mounting, this component operates across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range. The product 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 9220-14 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Inductance value: 500 µH ±5%
• Current rating: minimum 93 mA
• DC resistance: within acceptable operating limits (≤11.6Ohm)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Mounting configuration: Through-hole axial
• Package type: Axial form factor

The API Delevan 2500-14J meets these substitution criteria. While core material differs (iron vs. ferrite), both components deliver the required inductance, current handling, and thermal performance within the specified tolerance band.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Bourns 9220-14 (Obsolete): This component is no longer in active production. Existing inventory of 927 pieces is available as new original stock, suitable only for repair and maintenance of legacy systems currently using this part number.

API Delevan 2500-14J (Active): This is the recommended substitute for new designs and ongoing procurement. The part is in active production status with 621 pieces in current inventory. It exceeds the original specification in current rating (106 mA vs. 93 mA) and provides lower DC resistance (11.3Ohm vs. 11.6Ohm), resulting in improved thermal performance. Both components share identical inductance, tolerance, temperature range, and mounting configuration. The 2500-14J is available in tape and reel packaging, supporting automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 2500-14J directly replace the Bourns 9220-14 in existing circuits?

A: Yes. Both inductors deliver 500 µH inductance at ±5% tolerance with identical operating temperature range and through-hole axial mounting. The 2500-14J provides higher current capacity (106 mA vs. 93 mA) and lower DC resistance (11.3Ohm vs. 11.6Ohm), making it functionally compatible and electrically superior for the specified application.

Q: What is the physical size difference between these two inductors?

A: The Bourns 9220-14 measures 0.190" diameter × 0.440" length (4.83mm × 11.18mm). The API Delevan 2500-14J measures 0.240" diameter × 0.740" length (6.10mm × 18.80mm). Physical board layout must accommodate the larger footprint of the 2500-14J.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both components are RoHS non-compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. No compliance advantage exists between the two parts.

Q: What core material difference exists, and does it affect substitution?

A: The Bourns 9220-14 uses ferrite core material, while the API Delevan 2500-14J uses iron core material. Despite this difference, both achieve the required 500 µH inductance and meet all electrical specifications. Core material selection does not prevent substitution when electrical parameters are met.

Q: Is the tape and reel packaging of the 2500-14J compatible with my through-hole assembly process?

A: Tape and reel packaging is standard for automated component feeding systems. Manual through-hole assembly processes can use components from tape and reel packaging. Verify your assembly equipment compatibility with the component dimensions before procurement.
