Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Ohmite 93J2K5 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.5 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 3.25W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.233" Dia x 0.579" L (5.90mm x 14.70mm)
• Temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C
• Termination count: 2

The substitute part 93J2K5E maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in packaging format and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 93J2K5 and 93J2K5E are Active status components from Ohmite's Series 90 wirewound resistor line. Selection between these parts is determined by compliance and packaging requirements:

• 93J2K5: Select when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application.
• 93J2K5E: Select when ROHS3 compliance is required. This variant is supplied in bulk packaging and carries MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, ensuring direct substitution without circuit redesign or performance impact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 93J2K5E be used as a direct replacement for 93J2K5?

A: Yes. The 93J2K5E is a parametric equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, and physical dimensions. Substitution is direct.

Q: What is the difference between 93J2K5 and 93J2K5E?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard vs. bulk) and compliance certifications. The 93J2K5E is ROHS3 compliant, while the 93J2K5 is RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical temperature coefficient (±30ppm/°C), power rating (3.25W), and all electrical characteristics. Performance in thermal environments is equivalent.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, specify 93J2K5E. For applications without compliance restrictions, either part is suitable based on availability and packaging preference.

Q: Is the axial package compatible with standard PCB through-hole layouts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical axial package dimensions (0.233" Dia x 0.579" L / 5.90mm x 14.70mm) and two terminations, compatible with standard through-hole PCB designs.
