Bourns 9230-04 220 nH Axial Inductor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 9230-04 is a 220 nH unshielded molded inductor rated for 935 mA with 140 mOhm maximum DC resistance, designed for through-hole axial mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is non-RoHS compliant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 9230-04 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The critical parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Inductance value: 220 nH
• Tolerance: ±10%
• DC Resistance: 140 mOhm Max
• Q @ 25 MHz: 33
• Self Resonant Frequency: 510 MHz
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.095" Dia x 0.250" L
• Core material: Phenolic
• Shielding: Unshielded

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct equivalents or similar substitutes based on current rating compatibility and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 9230-04-RC is the primary direct substitute, manufactured by Bourns Inc. with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The 9230-04-RC differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant vs. Non-compliant), making it the preferred choice for new designs and production continuity.

The 1025-04K from API Delevan Inc. is a similar substitute that matches all critical electrical parameters and physical dimensions. It provides a higher current rating of 1.04 A compared to 935 mA and an extended operating temperature range to 125°C. The 1025-04K is non-RoHS compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 9230-04.

Selection between these substitutes depends on compliance requirements and temperature operating range needs. For RoHS3 compliance, the 9230-04-RC is the appropriate choice. For applications requiring extended temperature operation beyond 105°C, the 1025-04K provides additional thermal margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9230-04-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 9230-04?

A: Yes. The 9230-04-RC is electrically and mechanically identical to the 9230-04, with matching inductance, tolerance, current rating, DC resistance, Q factor, self-resonant frequency, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between the 9230-04-RC and 1025-04K?

A: Both parts share identical inductance (220 nH), tolerance (±10%), DC resistance (140 mOhm Max), Q factor (33 @ 25 MHz), self-resonant frequency (510 MHz), and physical dimensions. The 1025-04K has a higher current rating (1.04 A vs. 935 mA) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -55°C to 105°C). The 9230-04-RC is RoHS3 compliant, while the 1025-04K is non-compliant.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: The 9230-04 original packaging is not specified. Both substitute parts (9230-04-RC and 1025-04K) are available in bulk packaging.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical dimensions of 0.095" Dia x 0.250" L (2.41 mm x 6.35 mm) and are mounted as through-hole axial components.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The 9230-04-RC is recommended for new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance. The 1025-04K is suitable for applications where extended temperature operation to 125°C is required and RoHS compliance is not a constraint.
