Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Ohmite 95J12RE qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the 95J12R based on the following critical substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Resistance: 12 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power Rating: 5W
• Temperature Coefficient: ±30ppm/°C
• Composition: Wirewound

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Package Type: Axial
• Physical Dimensions: 0.264" Dia x 0.969" L (6.70mm x 24.60mm)
• Number of Terminations: 2
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Safety

Differentiating Factor: The primary difference between these parts is packaging format (Bulk vs. standard packaging) and RoHS compliance status. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and physical form factor, making them interchangeable in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 95J12R and 95J12RE are active production components from Ohmite's Series 90 wirewound resistor line. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select 95J12R when:

• Standard packaging format is required for component handling and storage
• Inventory availability of 1122 units meets project timeline requirements

Select 95J12RE when:

• Bulk packaging format is preferred for high-volume assembly operations
• ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications or customer requirements
• Moisture sensitivity level rating of 1 (Unlimited) is required for storage flexibility
• Inventory availability of 1048 units meets project requirements

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95J12RE be used as a direct replacement for the 95J12R in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 95J12RE is a direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (12 Ohms, ±5%, 5W), temperature coefficient (±30ppm/°C), and physical dimensions (0.264" Dia x 0.969" L). The axial package type and two-terminal configuration are identical, enabling direct substitution without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The 95J12R uses standard packaging, while the 95J12RE is supplied in bulk packaging format. This distinction affects component handling, storage, and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect component functionality?

A: No. RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material composition standards but does not alter the electrical performance or reliability of the component. The 95J12RE's ROHS3 compliance may be required for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer specifications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 95J12R and 95J12RE have identical axial package dimensions of 0.264" Dia x 0.969" L (6.70mm x 24.60mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and through-hole mounting patterns.

Q: What does the MSL rating indicate?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicates the component's sensitivity to moisture during storage and handling. The 95J12RE's MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions, providing maximum flexibility in storage conditions compared to components with higher MSL ratings.
