Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 20JR15 are qualified based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 150 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 10W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.394" Dia x 1.858" L (10.00mm x 47.20mm)
• Termination count: 2
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Safety

The 20JR15E is identified as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor while differing in packaging configuration and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 20JR15 and 20JR15E are Active status components from Ohmite's Series 20 wirewound resistor line. The primary distinction between these parts is compliance certification: the 20JR15E achieves ROHS3 compliance, while the 20JR15 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements within the application. Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance must use the 20JR15E. Applications without RoHS compliance mandates may use either part based on availability and packaging requirements. The 20JR15 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 20JR15E is supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 20JR15E be used as a direct replacement for the 20JR15?

A: Yes. The 20JR15E maintains identical electrical specifications (150 mOhms ±5%, 10W), composition (wirewound), and mechanical form factor (axial, 0.394" Dia x 1.858" L). Both components are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

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

A: The 20JR15E is ROHS3 compliant, while the 20JR15 is RoHS non-compliant. All other electrical, mechanical, and performance characteristics are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the 20JR15 and 20JR15E?

A: Yes. The 20JR15 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 20JR15E is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and handling but does not impact component performance or compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is determined by regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, specify the 20JR15E. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part may be selected based on availability and packaging preferences.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 20JR15 has 968 pieces in stock inventory, and the 20JR15E has 761 pieces in stock inventory.
