Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Ohmite 23J560 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution criteria are:

• Resistance value: 560 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 3W (exact match required)
• Composition: Wirewound (exact match required)
• Package: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.220" Dia x 0.516" L (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

The Ohmite 23J560E meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary difference is packaging configuration (Bulk vs. standard) and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Ohmite 23J560 and 23J560E are active products from the same manufacturer with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

The 23J560E is ROHS3 compliant, making it the preferred choice for applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance. The 23J560 is RoHS non-compliant and suitable for applications without RoHS requirements.

Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0080) classifications. Inventory availability is adequate for both variants, with the 23J560E currently showing higher stock levels (1093 units vs. 982 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 23J560E be used as a direct replacement for the 23J560?

A: Yes. The 23J560E is electrically and mechanically identical to the 23J560. All critical parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, temperature coefficient, and physical dimensions are identical. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between the 23J560 and 23J560E?

A: The 23J560E is ROHS3 compliant, while the 23J560 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are from Ohmite's Series 20 and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging configuration differs (Bulk vs. standard), but this does not affect component functionality.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical temperature coefficients (±30ppm/°C), power ratings (3W), and physical dimensions. Thermal performance and electrical characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 23J560E is recommended due to ROHS3 compliance, which aligns with current regulatory standards and customer expectations. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements, either part is suitable.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable in PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical axial through-hole packaging with 0.220" diameter and 0.516" length. PCB footprints and lead spacing are identical, requiring no layout modifications for substitution.
