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.
