Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 805F6K0 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the wirewound chassis mount resistor category. The substitute part must satisfy all of the following criteria:

• Resistance value: 6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Temperature coefficient: ±20ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 275°C
• Housing type: Aluminum
• Mounting feature: Flanges
• Physical dimensions: 0.600" L × 0.646" W (15.24mm × 16.41mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.330" (8.38mm)
• Lead style: Solder Lugs
• Package type: Axial, Box

The 805F6K0E meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. The primary difference is packaging format and product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 805F6K0E is the direct active substitute for the obsolete 805F6K0. Both parts are manufactured by Ohmite and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and physical dimensions.

The 805F6K0E offers the following advantages for new designs and ongoing production:

• Active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance satisfies regulatory requirements for new equipment
• Tray packaging provides improved handling and inventory management compared to bulk packaging
• Identical performance characteristics guarantee functional equivalence in existing circuit designs

Selection of the 805F6K0E eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with applications originally specified for the 805F6K0.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 805F6K0E be used as a direct replacement for the 805F6K0?

A: Yes. The 805F6K0E is electrically and mechanically identical to the 805F6K0. All critical parameters including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, physical dimensions, and mounting features are equivalent. The parts are interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the 805F6K0 and 805F6K0E?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and product status. The 805F6K0 is supplied in bulk packaging and is obsolete. The 805F6K0E is supplied in tray packaging and maintains active product status. Additionally, the 805F6K0E is ROHS3 compliant while the 805F6K0 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Does the change in packaging from bulk to tray affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The tray packaging of the 805F6K0E provides improved component protection and handling during storage and assembly, but the resistor itself performs identically to the bulk-packaged 805F6K0.

Q: Is the 805F6K0E suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 805F6K0E is ROHS3 compliant and meets regulatory requirements for RoHS-restricted applications. The obsolete 805F6K0 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in new designs subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: Are there any thermal or frequency limitations that differ between these parts?

A: No. Both the 805F6K0 and 805F6K0E operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 275°C with the same temperature coefficient of ±20ppm/°C. No thermal or frequency performance differences exist between the parts.
