Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 92J16R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 16 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 2.25W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C
• Features: Flame retardant coating and safety construction
• Physical dimensions: 0.220" Dia x 0.406" L (5.60mm x 10.30mm)
• Termination count: 2

The 92J16RE meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Differences in packaging format (Bulk vs. standard) and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability in the circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 92J16R and 92J16RE are active production parts from Ohmite's Series 90 wirewound resistor line. The 92J16RE offers ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The 92J16R remains available for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with inventory availability supporting either selection based on regulatory or supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 92J16RE be used as a direct replacement for the 92J16R?

A: Yes. The 92J16RE is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 92J16R. All critical parameters—resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, temperature coefficient, and physical dimensions—are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the 92J16R and 92J16RE?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard vs. Bulk) and RoHS compliance status. The 92J16RE is ROHS3 compliant, while the 92J16R is RoHS non-compliant. These differences do not affect circuit performance or physical fit.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 92J16RE for the 92J16R?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are axial wirewound resistors with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. They are pin-compatible and functionally interchangeable in all circuit applications.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, specify the 92J16RE. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings appropriate for standard component storage. Follow standard through-hole component handling practices during assembly and installation.
