Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Bourns 9230-02 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Inductance Value: 180 nH (exact match required)
  • Inductance Tolerance: ±10% (must match or be tighter)
  • DC Resistance: 120 mOhm maximum (equal or lower acceptable)
  • Current Rating: Minimum 1.01 A (equal or higher acceptable)
  • Shielding Configuration: Unshielded (must match)
  • Core Material: Phenolic (must match)
  • Frequency Characteristics: Q @ 25 MHz = 35; Self Resonant Frequency = 550 MHz (must match)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole (must match)
  • Package Style: Axial (must match)
  • Physical Dimensions: 0.095" Dia x 0.250" L (must match)

The API Delevan 1025-02K meets all substitution criteria and qualifies as a direct equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan 1025-02K is a qualified substitute for the obsolete Bourns 9230-02. The substitute part demonstrates superior current handling capability (1.12 A versus 1.01 A) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C), providing enhanced performance margins in both thermal and electrical domains.

Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status and are REACH unaffected. The API Delevan part is currently active in production with established supply availability (6640 pcs in stock), whereas the Bourns part is obsolete. The API Delevan 1025-02K is qualified under military specifications MIL-PRF-M15305 and MS75083, providing additional assurance for critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 1025-02K be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 9230-02?
