Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Bourns 9230-06 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 270 nH with ±10% tolerance
• DC Resistance: 160 mOhm maximum
• Current Rating: minimum 875 mA
• Q Factor: 33 @ 25 MHz
• Self-Resonant Frequency: 430 MHz
• Core Material: Phenolic
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Mounting: Through-hole axial configuration
• Physical dimensions: 0.095" Dia x 0.250" L (2.41mm x 6.35mm)

The API Delevan 1025-06K meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria, with the exception of an elevated maximum operating temperature and higher current rating, both of which represent improvements over the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan 1025-06K is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the Bourns 9230-06. The substitute part maintains identical inductance, tolerance, DC resistance, Q factor, and self-resonant frequency specifications. Physical dimensions and mounting configuration are identical, ensuring PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

The API Delevan 1025-06K offers two advantages over the original specification: a higher current rating of 975 mA versus 875 mA, and an extended maximum operating temperature of 125°C versus 105°C. Both parameters represent improvements that do not compromise backward compatibility.

The API Delevan 1025-06K is active in production, whereas the Bourns 9230-06 is obsolete. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status and REACH unaffected classification. Selection of the API Delevan substitute ensures long-term supply availability and procurement continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 1025-06K be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 9230-06 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The API Delevan 1025-06K is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Inductance, tolerance, DC resistance, Q factor, and self-resonant frequency are identical. Physical dimensions and axial through-hole mounting are identical, requiring no PCB layout changes.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between the two parts?

A: The Bourns 9230-06 is rated for 875 mA, while the API Delevan 1025-06K is rated for 975 mA. The higher rating of the substitute part does not affect compatibility and provides additional thermal margin in current-limited applications.

Q: Are there temperature range differences?

A: The Bourns 9230-06 operates from -55°C to 105°C. The API Delevan 1025-06K operates from -55°C to 125°C. The extended upper temperature limit of the substitute part provides improved performance in high-temperature environments without affecting operation within the original temperature range.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Bourns 9230-06 is supplied in standard through-hole packaging. The API Delevan 1025-06K is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. Both are through-hole axial components with identical physical dimensions and mounting compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the Bourns 9230-06 and API Delevan 1025-06K are RoHS non-compliant. Both parts carry identical REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.
