Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The API Delevan 4307-276K qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

  • Inductance Match: Both parts specify 27 mH with ±10% tolerance at 79 kHz test frequency
  • DC Resistance Match: Both maintain 308 Ohm maximum DC resistance
  • Shielding Configuration: Both employ ferrite core shielding for EMI suppression
  • Saturation Current: Both rated at 8 mA saturation current
  • Q Factor: Both measure 27 @ 79 kHz
  • Mounting and Package: Both are through-hole axial components
  • Electrical Compliance: Both are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected with identical HTSUS classification

The substitute part exceeds the original specification in current rating capacity (31 mA versus 16 mA) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -55°C ~ 105°C), providing enhanced performance margins without compromising the core electrical characteristics required for circuit function.

  • Electrical Equivalence: Identical inductance, tolerance, DC resistance, and Q factor specifications confirm functional compatibility in circuit applications
  • Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical RoHS and REACH compliance status, maintaining regulatory consistency in existing designs
  • Performance Enhancement: The substitute provides higher current rating capacity and extended temperature range, offering design margin improvements without specification compromise
  • Physical Compatibility: Axial through-hole package configuration ensures mechanical fit in existing PCB layouts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the API Delevan 4307-276K directly replace the Bourns 9250-276 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts specify identical inductance (27 mH ±10%), DC resistance (308 Ohm max), and Q factor (27 @ 79 kHz). The substitute maintains through-hole axial package compatibility and ferrite core shielding configuration. The higher current rating and extended temperature range of the substitute do not create incompatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), current rating (16 mA versus 31 mA), self-resonant frequency (210 kHz versus 400 kHz), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C). The substitute provides enhanced performance margins.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these inductors?

A: The Bourns 9250-276 uses through-hole axial packaging without specified tape and reel configuration. The API Delevan 4307-276K is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both maintain identical axial form factor for PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: Do these parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected with identical HTSUS classification (8504.50.8000) and ECCN designation (EAR99). Regulatory compliance status is equivalent.

Q: What is the saturation current specification, and is it the same for both parts?

A: Both the Bourns 9250-276 and API Delevan 4307-276K specify 8 mA saturation current (Isat). This parameter is identical across both components.
