IHD3EB100L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IHD3EB100L is a 10 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by Vishay Dale, rated for 4 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 16 mOhm. This through-hole axial component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently active in production with 920 pieces available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent inductance values, core materials, mounting types, and electrical ratings meet or exceed the original specification requirements while maintaining compatibility with the application circuit.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Bourns Inc. 5900-100-RC qualifies as a direct substitute for the IHD3EB100L based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Inductance value matches at 10 µH
• Core material is ferrite drum core, wirewound construction
• Mounting type is through-hole axial
• Current rating of 4.7 A exceeds the 4 A requirement
• DC resistance of 19 mOhm is within acceptable tolerance for this application category
• Both components are unshielded
• Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C covers the primary operating window

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IHD3EB100L and 5900-100-RC are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The 5900-100-RC provides higher current saturation (8.7 A versus 5.2 A) and improved inductance tolerance (±10% versus ±15%), making it suitable for applications requiring additional design margin. The IHD3EB100L maintains a wider operating temperature range extending to 125°C, which is relevant for high-temperature environments. Selection between these parts depends on specific application temperature requirements and current headroom needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5900-100-RC replace the IHD3EB100L in all applications?

A: The 5900-100-RC is electrically compatible as a substitute where the operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. Both parts share identical inductance values, core construction, and mounting configuration. The higher current rating and saturation current of the 5900-100-RC provide additional design margin in current-limited applications.

Q: What is the significance of the DC resistance difference between these parts?

A: The IHD3EB100L specifies 16 mOhm maximum DCR while the 5900-100-RC specifies 19 mOhm maximum. This 3 mOhm difference results in minimal power dissipation variance in typical applications and does not prevent substitution. Applications sensitive to resistive losses should account for this specification in thermal calculations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these inductors?

A: The IHD3EB100L is supplied in bulk packaging while the 5900-100-RC is supplied in tray packaging. Both components use identical axial through-hole package geometry with dimensions of approximately 0.45" diameter by 0.90" length, ensuring mechanical compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Q: How do the inductance tolerances affect circuit performance?

A: The IHD3EB100L carries ±15% tolerance while the 5900-100-RC carries ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the 5900-100-RC may be advantageous in frequency-dependent circuits or applications requiring precise inductance values. Both tolerances are measured at 1 kHz per standard test conditions.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the IHD3EB100L and 5900-100-RC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
