Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AIAP-03-4R7K is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

  • Inductance value of 4.7 µH within ±10% tolerance
  • DC resistance not exceeding 8mOhm maximum
  • Operating temperature range encompassing -55°C to 125°C
  • Inductance measured at 1 kHz test frequency

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

  • Through-hole mounting type
  • Axial package configuration
  • Unshielded construction
  • Physical dimensions compatible with 0.449" diameter and 0.902" length envelope

Compliance Requirements:

  • RoHS3 compliance status
  • REACH unaffected classification
  • Active product status

The substitute part 4590R-472K meets these criteria with equivalent inductance, matching DC resistance specification, identical operating temperature range, and compatible through-hole axial form factor. The substitute maintains RoHS3 and REACH compliance with Active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (AIAP-03-4R7K): Select the AIAP-03-4R7K when application current requirements reach or approach 13.9 A. This part provides maximum current capacity within the specified inductance and resistance parameters. Both RoHS3 compliance and Active product status support long-term supply availability.

Substitute Selection (4590R-472K): The 4590R-472K serves as a functional substitute when application current requirements do not exceed 9.11 A. This part maintains electrical equivalence through matching inductance value, DC resistance specification, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions remain compatible with through-hole axial mounting. RoHS3 compliance and Active product status are maintained.

Critical Selection Factor: Current rating represents the primary differentiator between these parts. The substitute part's 9.11 A rating is lower than the main part's 13.9 A rating. Application current draw must remain below the substitute's saturation current of 7.5 A to ensure reliable operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4590R-472K replace the AIAP-03-4R7K in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when application current requirements do not exceed 9.11 A continuous current. The substitute part's lower current rating and 7.5 A saturation current must be considered against actual circuit current demands.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB mounting?

A: Yes. The substitute part dimensions of 0.455" diameter by 0.900" length are compatible with the main part's 0.449" diameter by 0.902" length specification. Both maintain through-hole axial form factor compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the AIAP-03-4R7K and 4590R-472K maintain RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and Active product classification.

Q: What is the difference in core construction?

A: The AIAP-03-4R7K uses wirewound construction. The 4590R-472K uses drum core wirewound construction with ferrite core material. Both deliver equivalent inductance and DC resistance specifications at the 1 kHz test frequency.

Q: How do I determine which part to use?

A: Evaluate your circuit's maximum continuous current requirement. If current remains below 9.11 A, the 4590R-472K is electrically and mechanically compatible. If current approaches or exceeds 9.11 A, the AIAP-03-4R7K's higher 13.9 A rating is required.
