IHD3EB471L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IHD3EB471L is a 470 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by Vishay Dale, rated for 1.2 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 393 mOhm. This through-hole axial component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently active in production with 748 pieces available in bulk packaging.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary component becomes unavailable or when design flexibility is required across equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IHD3EB471L is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Inductance value: 470 µH at 1 kHz test frequency
• Core material: Ferrite drum core construction
• Shielding configuration: Unshielded
• Mounting style: Through hole axial package
• Physical dimensions: Compatible with 0.460" diameter and 0.900" length specifications

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Current rating: Minimum 1.0 A (substitute must support primary circuit current requirements)
• DC resistance: Maximum 420 mOhm (acceptable variance from 393 mOhm specification)
• Tolerance: ±10% or ±15% (both acceptable for general-purpose filtering and energy storage applications)
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -55°C to 105°C (covers primary operating envelope)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected status

The substitute part 5900-471-RC from Bourns Inc. meets all primary matching criteria and operates within acceptable secondary compatibility parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

IHD3EB471L (Vishay Dale) is the primary component specification. This part is active in production with established supply availability and operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The 1.2 A current rating provides margin above typical circuit requirements. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

5900-471-RC (Bourns Inc.) serves as a direct functional equivalent. This substitute maintains identical inductance and core construction while operating within a reduced temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The 1.0 A current rating is suitable for applications where circuit current does not exceed this threshold. The 420 mOhm maximum DC resistance represents a 6.8% increase over the primary part specification, which remains acceptable for general-purpose inductor applications. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status provide equivalent regulatory standing. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for through-hole axial mounting on standard PCB layouts.

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific current requirements and operating temperature constraints. Both parts are active in production and carry equivalent compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5900-471-RC substitute for the IHD3EB471L in all applications?

A: The 5900-471-RC is functionally equivalent for applications where circuit current does not exceed 1.0 A and operating temperature remains within -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring the full 1.2 A rating or operation above 105°C require the IHD3EB471L.

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

A: The IHD3EB471L specifies 393 mOhm maximum DC resistance, while the 5900-471-RC specifies 420 mOhm maximum. This 27 mOhm difference represents approximately 6.8% variance and is acceptable for filtering, energy storage, and general-purpose inductor applications where precise resistance matching is not a design requirement.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible with existing PCB layouts?

A: Both parts are through-hole axial components with 0.900" length. The diameter difference (0.460" versus 0.453") is negligible for standard PCB hole spacing. Both parts are compatible with existing through-hole layouts designed for 470 µH axial inductors.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the IHD3EB471L and 5900-471-RC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory standards for industrial and commercial electronics applications.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance difference, and does it affect circuit performance?

A: The IHD3EB471L carries ±15% tolerance, while the 5900-471-RC carries ±10% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the Bourns part provides greater inductance consistency. For applications requiring precise inductance values, the 5900-471-RC offers improved specification control.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: No. The IHD3EB471L operates to 125°C, while the 5900-471-RC operates to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must use the IHD3EB471L.
