Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 9250A-155-RC is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 9250-155-RC. Both components maintain identical electrical performance across inductance, current rating, DC resistance, and frequency characteristics. The 9250A-155-RC offers the advantage of active product status with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C), ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system support. The transition from drum core to molded construction in the 9250A series provides improved mechanical robustness without altering electrical specifications or physical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9250A-155-RC be used as a direct replacement for the 9250-155-RC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 9250A-155-RC matches all critical electrical parameters including inductance, current rating, DC resistance, saturation current, and frequency response. Physical dimensions and mounting configuration are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution.

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

A: The 9250-155-RC uses drum core wirewound construction and carries obsolete status. The 9250A-155-RC employs molded construction and maintains active product status. Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences between these parts?

A: The 9250-155-RC operates from -55°C to 105°C. The 9250A-155-RC extends the upper limit to 125°C. Both maintain the same lower temperature limit. Applications operating above 105°C require the 9250A-155-RC.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 9250-155-RC and 9250A-155-RC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Is the axial through-hole package identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both components share the same physical envelope of 0.162" diameter × 0.410" length (4.11 mm × 10.41 mm) and mount identically on through-hole PCB layouts.
