IHD3EB560L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IHD3EB560L is a 56 µH unshielded drum core wirewound inductor manufactured by Vishay Dale, rated for 3.2 A continuous current with a maximum DC resistance of 43 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 1033 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent inductance values, core materials, mounting types, and electrical ratings align within acceptable engineering tolerances for the application.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Bourns Inc. 5900-560-RC is identified as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Identical inductance value of 56 µH at 1 kHz test frequency
• Ferrite drum core construction with unshielded configuration
• Through-hole axial mounting type and package format
• Physical dimensions within acceptable tolerance (0.453" Dia vs 0.460" Dia; both 0.900" L)
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Active product status with current manufacturing availability

Substitution is valid where the application tolerates the specified parameter variations listed in the comparison table below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IHD3EB560L and 5900-560-RC maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific current requirements and operating temperature constraints:

The IHD3EB560L supports a higher continuous current rating of 3.2 A and extends the upper operating temperature to 125°C, making it suitable for higher-power or higher-temperature applications.

The 5900-560-RC offers tighter inductance tolerance (±10% vs ±15%) and lower saturation current (4.6 A vs 2.3 A), with operation limited to 105°C maximum. This part is appropriate for applications where inductance precision is prioritized and continuous current does not exceed 2.9 A.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements for regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5900-560-RC replace the IHD3EB560L in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application current requirement does not exceed 2.9 A and the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. If either parameter exceeds these limits, the IHD3EB560L is required.

Q: What is the impact of the 7 mOhm difference in DC resistance?

A: The 5900-560-RC has a maximum DCR of 50 mOhm compared to 43 mOhm for the IHD3EB560L. This 16% increase in resistance will result in proportionally higher resistive losses in the inductor. Applications sensitive to power dissipation or thermal performance should account for this difference.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB layout?

A: Both parts use identical axial package format with 0.900" length. The diameter difference (0.460" vs 0.453") is negligible for through-hole mounting. Both fit standard 0.1" pitch breadboard and PCB layouts without modification.

Q: Which part has better inductance accuracy?

A: The 5900-560-RC provides ±10% tolerance compared to ±15% for the IHD3EB560L, offering superior inductance precision for applications requiring tighter value control.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the IHD3EB560L and 5900-560-RC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for regulated markets.
