Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the DC630-224K is determined by maintaining electrical performance across five critical parameters: inductance value (220 µH), inductance tolerance (±10%), current rating (2.42 A), saturation current (4.6 A), and DC resistance (168 mOhm maximum). The DC630R-224K meets all these electrical specifications identically. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.630" diameter, 0.830" maximum height), mounting configuration (through-hole radial vertical cylinder), and thermal operating range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute differs in core construction technology—featuring a drum core with ferrite material versus the standard wirewound construction—while maintaining equivalent electrical characteristics at the specified test frequency of 10 kHz. Both variants remain unshielded and are sourced from the same manufacturer (API Delevan Inc.) within the DC630 series family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DC630-224K and DC630R-224K are active product status components from API Delevan Inc., ensuring ongoing manufacturer support and supply continuity. Neither part carries RoHS compliance—this regulatory designation applies equally to both options and should be evaluated against application and regional requirements. The DC630-224K represents the primary specification within the DC630 series, while the DC630R-224K provides an alternative within the DC630R series utilizing ferrite drum core technology. Selection between these parts should consider component availability (DC630R-224K currently shows higher inventory at 1075 units versus 966 units for DC630-224K) and core technology requirements. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance at 10 kHz test frequency and maintain the same thermal operating range, physical footprint, and through-hole mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DC630-224K and DC630R-224K electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. Both inductors deliver 220 µH inductance (±10% tolerance), 2.42 A current rating, 4.6 A saturation current, and 168 mOhm maximum DC resistance. They are electrically equivalent when measured at the specified 10 kHz test frequency.

Q: What is the difference between the standard DC630-224K and the DC630R-224K substitute? A: The DC630R-224K uses ferrite drum core construction compared to the standard wirewound approach of the DC630-224K. Despite this core technology difference, both maintain identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions (0.630" diameter, 0.830" height).

Q: Can I use these inductors interchangeably in PCB layouts? A: Yes. Both parts share identical through-hole mounting configuration, radial vertical cylinder package, and physical dimensions (0.630" diameter, 0.830" maximum seated height). They occupy the same footprint on circuit boards.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts? A: Both inductors operate across -55°C to 125°C. This thermal specification ensures performance across industrial and commercial temperature environments.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant? A: No. Both DC630-224K and DC630R-224K are designated as RoHS non-compliant. Regulatory compliance requirements must be evaluated for specific applications and geographic markets.

Q: Which part should I select if both are in stock? A: Selection criteria should include current component inventory availability, supplier lead times, and any application-specific core material requirements. Both deliver identical electrical performance. The DC630R-224K currently shows higher inventory availability (1075 units versus 966 units).

Q: Are both parts in active production? A: Yes. Both DC630-224K and DC630R-224K maintain active product status with ongoing manufacturer support from API Delevan Inc.
