Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IMS05ST560K are qualified based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 56 µH (exact match required)
• Current rating: 190 mA minimum
• DC resistance: 2.23 Ohm maximum
• Shielding configuration: Shielded
• Mounting technology: Through hole
• Package style: Axial
• Core material: Ferrite

The 9250A-563-RC from Bourns Inc. meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both components are shielded molded inductors with identical electrical ratings and physical form factors suitable for axial through-hole mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 9250A-563-RC qualifies as a direct substitute for the IMS05ST560K based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical inductance (56 µH), current rating (190 mA), and DC resistance (2.23 Ohm maximum) specifications. The axial through-hole form factor and ferrite core construction are identical between both parts.

The Bourns 9250A-563-RC carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental standards. The component is classified as active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Selection between these two parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and procurement cost considerations, as both meet the specified electrical and mechanical requirements for this application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9250A-563-RC be used as a direct replacement for the IMS05ST560K?

A: Yes. Both components are 56 µH shielded molded inductors with 190 mA current rating and 2.23 Ohm maximum DC resistance. The axial through-hole package and ferrite core construction are identical, making them electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Are there any differences in tolerance specifications between these parts?

A: The 9250A-563-RC specifies ±10% inductance tolerance. The IMS05ST560K tolerance is not provided in the available documentation. For applications requiring specific tolerance bands, verify the IMS05ST560K tolerance specification with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the saturation current difference?

A: The 9250A-563-RC specifies a saturation current (Isat) of 160 mA. The IMS05ST560K saturation current is not specified in available data. Both components are rated for 190 mA continuous operation, which exceeds the saturation specification of the Bourns part.

Q: Do both parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: Both components are axial through-hole inductors with identical form factors. The 9250A-563-RC specifies dimensions of 0.162" diameter × 0.410" length (4.11 mm × 10.41 mm). Verify the IMS05ST560K dimensions match this specification for PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 9250A-563-RC is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These certifications apply to the substitute part. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design accommodates the specified electrical parameters (56 µH inductance, 190 mA current rating, 2.23 Ohm DC resistance) and the axial through-hole mounting style. No design modifications are required for electrical or mechanical substitution.
