Ohmite 95J180 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Ohmite 95J180 is a 180 Ohm, 5% tolerance, 5W axial wirewound resistor with flame retardant coating and safety features. This component is classified as Active product status and is suitable for through-hole applications requiring moderate power dissipation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 95J180 are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 180 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 5W (exact match required)
• Composition: Wirewound (exact match required)
• Package: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Features: Flame retardant coating and safety characteristics (exact match required)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match required)

Physical dimensions may vary within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole PCB mounting. Compliance certifications and RoHS status are secondary considerations that do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—95J180, 25J180, and 95J180E—meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection should be based on the following criteria:

95J180 (Original): Primary choice when RoHS non-compliant status is acceptable and standard moisture sensitivity classification is sufficient.

25J180 (MFR Recommended): Alternative from Ohmite's Series 20 line with identical electrical specifications. Physical dimensions are slightly larger (0.276" diameter vs. 0.264", 1.016" length vs. 0.969"). Suitable for applications where minor dimensional variation is accommodated by PCB layout. RoHS non-compliant status matches the original.

95J180E (Parametric Equivalent): Functionally identical to 95J180 with RoHS Compliant certification and defined moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Maintains identical physical dimensions and Series 90 classification. Recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance or when moisture sensitivity documentation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 25J180 be used as a direct replacement for 95J180? A: Yes. All electrical parameters are identical. Physical dimensions differ slightly (diameter 0.276" vs. 0.264", length 1.016" vs. 0.969"). Verify PCB layout accommodates the larger diameter before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between 95J180 and 95J180E? A: Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. 95J180E carries RoHS Compliant certification and defined MSL 1 rating, while 95J180 is RoHS non-compliant. Both are Series 90 components with matching dimensions.

Q: Are all substitutes suitable for high-temperature applications? A: All three parts share identical temperature coefficient specifications (±30ppm/°C). Operating temperature limits are not provided in the technical data. Consult detailed datasheets for maximum operating temperature ratings.

Q: Does the Series designation (90 vs. 20) affect substitutability? A: No. Series designation indicates product line classification but does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. All parts meet identical functional requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used in RoHS-restricted applications? A: 95J180E is RoHS Compliant and suitable for RoHS-restricted applications. 95J180 and 25J180 are RoHS non-compliant and require compliance verification before use in regulated environments.
