Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Ohmite 90J6K0 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must match identically for substitution eligibility:

• Resistance value: 6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 11W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.343" Dia x 1.811" L (8.70mm x 46.00mm)
• Features: Flame retardant coating and safety characteristics
• Number of terminations: 2

The 90J6K0E is classified as a parametric equivalent and direct substitute. It maintains all critical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while differing only in packaging configuration and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 90J6K0 and 90J6K0E are Active product status components manufactured by Ohmite and are electrically and mechanically identical. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

The 90J6K0E is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements or environments with stringent environmental compliance mandates.

The 90J6K0 is RoHS non-compliant and carries Not Applicable MSL rating, suitable for applications without RoHS3 compliance requirements or legacy system designs.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are required. Selection should be based on end-application regulatory requirements and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 90J6K0E be used as a direct replacement for the 90J6K0?

A: Yes. The 90J6K0E is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (6 kOhms ±5%, 11W, ±30ppm/°C) and mechanical dimensions (0.343" Dia x 1.811" L). The primary differences are packaging configuration (Bulk vs. Standard) and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant). Circuit performance is identical.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging types listed?

A: The 90J6K0 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 90J6K0E is supplied in bulk packaging. Both contain the same component with identical electrical and mechanical properties. Packaging type affects order quantity, handling, and storage considerations but does not impact circuit functionality.

Q: Does RoHS3 compliance affect component performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a regulatory and material composition standard that does not alter electrical performance, power rating, tolerance, or temperature coefficient. The 90J6K0E maintains all electrical specifications identical to the 90J6K0.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 90J6K0 and 90J6K0E have identical dimensions of 0.343" Dia x 1.811" L (8.70mm x 46.00mm) and are both axial package type. They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and through-hole applications.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. The 90J6K0E carries this rating, while the 90J6K0 carries Not Applicable MSL, indicating standard storage conditions are sufficient.
