SWC-5.0-15 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SWC-5.0-15 is a 14.8 µH unshielded toroidal inductor manufactured by Amgis, LLC, rated for 5 A continuous current with 23 mOhm DC resistance. This component is designed for through-hole mounting applications requiring fixed inductance in the sub-20 µH range. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and operates across the -40°C to 130°C temperature range. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific design requirements necessitate alternative configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The P0846NL from Pulse Electronics qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Inductance value: 14.8 µH (identical)
• Inductance tolerance: ±20% (identical)
• Current rating: 5 A (identical)
• DC resistance: 23 mOhm (identical)
• Toroidal type configuration (identical)
• Through-hole mounting (identical)
• Radial, vertical package orientation (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 130°C (identical)
• RoHS3 compliance (identical)

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the shielding configuration: the SWC-5.0-15 is unshielded, while the P0846NL is shielded. Physical dimensions show minor variations within acceptable tolerances for through-hole mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SWC-5.0-15 and P0846NL meet identical electrical specifications for inductance, current handling, and DC resistance. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. The unshielded SWC-5.0-15 is suitable for applications where EMI isolation is not a design constraint. The shielded P0846NL is appropriate for circuits requiring reduced electromagnetic coupling to adjacent components or sensitive signal paths.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory compatibility across industrial and commercial applications. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole PCB layouts, with the P0846NL showing marginally smaller seated height (0.750" vs 0.760").

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0846NL be used as a direct replacement for SWC-5.0-15?

A: Yes, from an electrical standpoint. Both parts deliver identical inductance (14.8 µH), current rating (5 A), and DC resistance (23 mOhm). The shielded design of P0846NL provides additional EMI isolation not present in the unshielded SWC-5.0-15. Verify that your circuit layout accommodates the shielded configuration and minor dimensional variations.

Q: What is the significance of shielding in this substitution?

A: Shielding reduces electromagnetic field radiation and susceptibility to external interference. The unshielded SWC-5.0-15 is suitable for general-purpose applications. The shielded P0846NL is preferred in high-frequency circuits, sensitive analog sections, or densely populated PCBs where crosstalk mitigation is necessary.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The SWC-5.0-15 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the P0846NL is supplied in tube packaging. Both are through-hole components with radial, vertical orientation. Physical dimensions differ slightly but remain compatible with standard PCB mounting patterns.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the SWC-5.0-15 and P0846NL are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial electronics.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 130°C, providing identical thermal performance for standard industrial applications.
