SWS-5.0-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SWS-5.0-10 is an 11 µH unshielded toroidal inductor manufactured by Amgis, LLC, rated for 5 A continuous current with 25 mOhm DC resistance. This component is designed for surface mount applications in nonstandard package configurations and operates across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 130°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances for this inductor category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The P0847SNL from Pulse Electronics qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current Rating: Both parts rated for 5 A continuous operation
• DC Resistance: Both maintain 25 mOhm specification
• Tolerance: Both specified at ±20% inductance tolerance
• Operating Temperature: Both support -40°C to 130°C range

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting Type: Both are surface mount components
• Package Classification: Both use nonstandard package configurations
• Physical Dimensions: Footprint dimensions are equivalent (17.80mm × 17.00mm vs. 17.78mm × 17.02mm; height 10.16mm vs. 9.91mm)

Compliance Alignment:

• RoHS3 Compliant: Both parts meet RoHS3 requirements
• MSL Rating: Both classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: Both REACH Unaffected
• ECCN/HTSUS: Identical commodity classifications

Substitution Variance:

• Inductance: P0847SNL rated at 10 µH versus 11 µH (within ±20% tolerance band)
• Shielding: P0847SNL is shielded; SWS-5.0-10 is unshielded

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part (SWS-5.0-10): The SWS-5.0-10 maintains Active product status with established supply availability (748 units in stock). This part is the specified design component and should be used as the first-choice selection when procurement lead times and inventory support the application schedule.

Substitute Part (P0847SNL): The P0847SNL is qualified as a direct substitute when SWS-5.0-10 availability is constrained. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1) and meet all electrical and thermal specifications. The P0847SNL offers higher inventory availability (1878 units in stock) and reduced height profile (9.91mm vs. 10.16mm), which may provide PCB layout advantages in space-constrained designs.

The shielded construction of the P0847SNL introduces electromagnetic isolation characteristics not present in the unshielded SWS-5.0-10. This difference must be evaluated within the specific circuit context to confirm compatibility with EMI/RFI performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0847SNL directly replace SWS-5.0-10 in all applications?

A: The P0847SNL meets all specified electrical parameters (5 A current rating, 25 mOhm DCR, ±20% tolerance) and thermal requirements (-40°C to 130°C). The 1 µH inductance difference (10 µH vs. 11 µH) falls within the ±20% tolerance specification. However, the shielded construction of P0847SNL differs from the unshielded design of SWS-5.0-10. Circuit-level evaluation is required to confirm EMI/RFI compatibility.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance impact?

A: Both parts specify ±20% inductance tolerance. The P0847SNL nominal value of 10 µH represents a 9.1% reduction from the SWS-5.0-10 specification of 11 µH. This variance remains within the tolerance band and is acceptable for applications where the ±20% tolerance was established as the design margin.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Yes. The footprint dimensions are equivalent (17.80mm × 17.00mm vs. 17.78mm × 17.02mm). The P0847SNL seated height is 0.25mm lower (9.91mm vs. 10.16mm), which provides additional PCB clearance margin and may benefit designs with height constraints.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both SWS-5.0-10 and P0847SNL are RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8504.50.4000) commodity classifications.

Q: What is the difference between shielded and unshielded construction?

A: The SWS-5.0-10 is unshielded, allowing magnetic field interaction with surrounding circuit elements. The P0847SNL is shielded, providing electromagnetic isolation. Shielded inductors reduce radiated EMI but may introduce different coupling characteristics in the circuit. Application-specific EMI/RFI testing is necessary to confirm performance equivalence.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The SWS-5.0-10 is the specified design component and should be used for new designs when supply is available. The P0847SNL is qualified as a substitute for existing designs when SWS-5.0-10 procurement is constrained, provided circuit-level compatibility with shielded construction is confirmed.
