Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SWS-5.0-23 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Inductance Value: 24.7 µH ±20% tolerance permits substitute values between 19.76 µH and 29.64 µH
• Current Rating: Minimum 5 A required; higher ratings are acceptable
• DC Resistance: 13 mOhm maximum; lower values are acceptable
• Mounting Type: Surface mount only
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 130°C minimum range required
• Toroidal Type: Core geometry must remain toroidal
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH Unaffected status required

The substitute part P0850SNL meets these criteria with an inductance value of 23 µH (within the ±20% tolerance band), identical current rating of 5 A, matching DC resistance of 13 mOhm, and equivalent environmental compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SWS-5.0-23 and P0850SNL maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future applications. The inductance values fall within the specified ±20% tolerance band, and electrical parameters including current rating and DC resistance are equivalent.

The primary distinction is shielding configuration: the SWS-5.0-23 is unshielded while the P0850SNL is shielded. Shielded inductors reduce electromagnetic interference emission and susceptibility, making the P0850SNL suitable for noise-sensitive applications. Unshielded inductors occupy less board space and may be preferred in applications where EMI is not a design constraint.

Dimensional differences are minor: the P0850SNL is 0.063 inches narrower and 0.010 inches shorter. PCB layout verification is required to confirm fit within available space constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0850SNL directly replace SWS-5.0-23 in all applications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid within the specified tolerance band. The 1 µH inductance difference (23 µH vs. 24.7 µH) represents 6.9% deviation, well within the ±20% tolerance. However, the shielding difference and dimensional variations require circuit-level and PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the impact of the shielding difference?

A: The P0850SNL shielded design reduces radiated EMI and improves immunity to external electromagnetic fields. Applications sensitive to noise coupling may benefit from this characteristic. Unshielded designs like the SWS-5.0-23 are suitable for applications where EMI is not a primary concern.

Q: Are the dimensional differences significant?

A: The P0850SNL is 0.063 inches narrower in width and 0.010 inches shorter in height. These differences are minor but require PCB layout confirmation to ensure the substitute part fits within the allocated component footprint and clearance zones.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SWS-5.0-23 and P0850SNL are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronics manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the inductance tolerance impact on circuit performance?

A: With ±20% tolerance on both parts, the actual inductance range is 19.76 µH to 29.64 µH for the SWS-5.0-23 and 18.4 µH to 27.6 µH for the P0850SNL. Circuit designs must accommodate this tolerance band in filtering, impedance matching, or resonant frequency calculations.
