SWC-5.0-23 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SWC-5.0-23 is a 23 µH unshielded toroidal inductor manufactured by Amgis, LLC, rated for 5 A continuous current with 26 mOhm DC resistance. This component is designed for through-hole mounting in radial, vertical orientation and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 130°C. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same inductance value, current rating, and DC resistance parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The P0850NL from Pulse Electronics qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Inductance value: 23 µH (identical)
• Current rating: 5 A (identical)
• DC resistance: 26 mOhm (identical)
• Tolerance: ±20% (identical)
• Type: Toroidal (identical)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package configuration: Radial, Vertical (Open) (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 130°C (identical)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is the shielding characteristic: SWC-5.0-23 is unshielded, while P0850NL is shielded. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical footprint compatibility within the specified tolerance ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both SWC-5.0-23 and P0850NL maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The dimensional variance between parts is minimal: length difference of 0.003" (0.09mm), width difference of 0.001" (0.03mm), and height difference of 0.013" (0.33mm). These tolerances remain within standard PCB layout margins for through-hole radial components.

Selection between the unshielded SWC-5.0-23 and shielded P0850NL depends on application-specific electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. The shielded variant (P0850NL) provides additional isolation in noise-sensitive circuits, while the unshielded variant (SWC-5.0-23) offers cost efficiency where EMI shielding is not required. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance across the specified current, inductance, and resistance parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0850NL replace SWC-5.0-23 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical inductance (23 µH), current rating (5 A), DC resistance (26 mOhm), tolerance (±20%), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C). Dimensional differences are within standard PCB layout tolerances for through-hole components.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two inductors?

A: The SWC-5.0-23 is unshielded, while the P0850NL is shielded. This affects electromagnetic field containment but does not alter electrical performance specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SWC-5.0-23 and P0850NL are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect PCB layout?

A: The dimensional variance is minimal (0.003" length, 0.001" width, 0.013" height maximum). Standard PCB design tolerances for radial through-hole components accommodate these differences without layout modification.

Q: Which part should be selected for noise-sensitive applications?

A: The shielded P0850NL is suitable for applications requiring EMI containment. The unshielded SWC-5.0-23 is appropriate for applications where shielding is not a design requirement.
