• Current Rating: 27 mA minimum
• DC Resistance: 111 Ohm maximum
• Shielding Type: Shielded construction
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole axial package
• Core Material: Ferrite core

The 9250A-685-RC from Bourns Inc. meets all specified electrical and mechanical requirements and qualifies as a direct equivalent substitute for the IMS05ER682K.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 9250A-685-RC qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the IMS05ER682K. Both components share identical inductance values, current ratings, and DC resistance specifications. The Bourns 9250A-685-RC carries active product status and maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, supporting long-term availability and regulatory compliance requirements. Selection between these components should be based on supply availability, lead time, and procurement cost considerations, as electrical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9250A-685-RC be used as a direct replacement for the IMS05ER682K?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical specifications for inductance (6.8 mH), current rating (27 mA), and DC resistance (111 Ohm max). Both are shielded, molded ferrite inductors in through-hole axial packages.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The 9250A-685-RC has documented dimensions of 0.162" diameter × 0.410" length (4.11 mm × 10.41 mm). Physical dimensions for the IMS05ER682K are not provided in the available data. Verify PCB footprint compatibility before substitution if space constraints are critical.

Q: What is the difference in saturation current between these inductors?

A: The 9250A-685-RC specifies a saturation current (Isat) of 16 mA. The IMS05ER682K saturation specification is not provided. Both components maintain a 27 mA rated current, indicating adequate margin above saturation in typical applications.
