Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 9230-62-RC manufactured by Bourns Inc. qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

  • Inductance Value: Both parts specify 56 µH
  • DC Resistance (DCR): Both parts specify 5.7 Ohm Max
  • Shielding Configuration: Both are unshielded molded inductors
  • Mounting Type: Both use through-hole axial mounting
  • Package / Case: Both use axial package configuration
  • Operating Temperature Range: Both support -55°C ~ 125°C

The primary difference is the current rating, where the substitute part (9230-62-RC) supports 145 mA compared to the main part's 100 mA rating. This higher current capability makes the substitute suitable for applications designed for the IM02ER560K.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 9230-62-RC is a qualified substitute for the IM02ER560K based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part maintains identical inductance, DC resistance, shielding, and thermal operating range specifications. The elevated current rating of 145 mA in the substitute part provides additional design margin for applications originally specified at 100 mA.

Both parts are molded ferrite inductors with axial through-hole mounting, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in circuit board layouts. The 9230-62-RC carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9230-62-RC be used as a direct replacement for the IM02ER560K?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (56 µH), DC resistance (5.7 Ohm Max), shielding configuration (unshielded), mounting type (through-hole axial), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The substitute part's higher current rating (145 mA vs. 100 mA) does not prevent substitution in applications designed for the original part.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: The critical parameters are inductance value, DC resistance, shielding type, and current rating. For this part family, inductance and DC resistance must match exactly. The current rating of the substitute may exceed the original specification without affecting compatibility.

Q: Are there physical mounting differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole axial mounting configuration with the same package type, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 9230-62-RC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component use.
