IH05EB101K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IH05EB101K is a 100 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor rated for 7.5 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 50 mOhm. This through-hole radial component is designed for general-purpose power supply filtering, energy storage, and signal conditioning applications. The part is currently in active production with 865 pieces available in new original stock condition.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors, ensuring direct replacement capability without circuit redesign or board layout modifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IH05EB101K are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Inductance Value: Exact match at 100 µH
• Current Rating: Minimum 7.5 A continuous
• DC Resistance: Maximum 50 mOhm
• Core Construction: Unshielded drum core wirewound
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole radial, horizontal cylinder orientation
• Manufacturer: Vishay Dale IH series

The IH05BQ101K meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility, permitting direct board-level substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IH05EB101K and IH05BQ101K are active production components from Vishay Dale's IH series. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: IH05BQ101K currently has higher stock levels (1041 pieces vs. 865 pieces)
• Lead Time: Consult distributor inventory for delivery schedule requirements
• Cost: Compare unit pricing through authorized Vishay Dale distributors
• Application Criticality: Both parts are functionally identical for all specified electrical and mechanical parameters

No performance degradation or functional compromise occurs when substituting either part for the other in circuits designed for 100 µH, 7.5 A, 50 mOhm inductors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IH05BQ101K replace IH05EB101K directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in inductance (100 µH), current rating (7.5 A), DC resistance (50 mOhm), core type, winding configuration, and through-hole radial mounting. No circuit modifications or board layout changes are required.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical unshielded drum core construction, wirewound configuration, and horizontal cylinder form factor. Pin spacing and mounting footprint are equivalent.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute?

A: A substitute must match the main part in inductance value, current rating, maximum DC resistance, core type, winding type, and mounting style. All these parameters are identical between IH05EB101K and IH05BQ101K.

Q: Can I use a part with higher current rating as a substitute?

A: A higher current rating does not disqualify a part from substitution if all other parameters match. However, only parts meeting the exact specifications listed are qualified as substitutes for this reference.

Q: Does the manufacturer matter for substitution?

A: Yes. Both qualified substitutes are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the IH series. Parts from different manufacturers or series may have different mechanical or electrical characteristics and are not included in this substitution list.

Q: What if I need a different inductance value?

A: Parts with different inductance values are not substitutes. They require circuit redesign and are outside the scope of this equivalent parts reference.
