Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Ohmite 95J160 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must remain constant for substitution validity:

• Resistance value: 160 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.264" Dia x 0.969" L (6.70mm x 24.60mm)
• Temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• Series designation: 90

The 95J160E variant meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Packaging differences (Bulk vs. standard) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 95J160 and 95J160E are Active product status components from Ohmite's Series 90 wirewound resistor line. The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status. The 95J160E achieves ROHS3 compliance, while the 95J160 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements or environmental compliance mandates, the 95J160E is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance requirements, either part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and safety features, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in circuit board layouts and thermal management designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 95J160E be used as a direct replacement for the 95J160?

A: Yes. The 95J160E is a parametric equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Direct substitution is valid from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between the 95J160 and 95J160E?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance. The 95J160E is ROHS3 compliant, while the 95J160 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. The 95J160 and 95J160E differ only in packaging designation (standard vs. Bulk). This does not affect electrical performance or physical fit in circuit applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.264" Dia x 0.969" L (6.70mm x 24.60mm) and use the same axial package configuration, ensuring identical PCB footprint and mounting compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory and compliance requirements. For RoHS-compliant applications, specify the 95J160E. For applications without RoHS mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and procurement preferences.
