Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Ohmite 25J270 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 95J270 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 270 Ohms
• Matching tolerance: ±5%
• Equivalent power rating: 5W
• Same composition: Wirewound
• Compatible package: Axial with 2 terminations
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±30ppm/°C
• Matching features: Flame retardant coating and safety designation
• Same regulatory classification: EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0080

Both parts belong to the Ohmite wirewound resistor family and maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for through-hole axial applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Ohmite 95J270 and 25J270 are Active product status components suitable for direct substitution in 270 Ohm, 5W wirewound axial resistor applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• PCB layout constraints, as the 25J270 has slightly larger physical dimensions (0.276" diameter vs. 0.264" diameter)
• Compliance requirements: both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant status and regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0080)

The minor dimensional variation between the two parts remains within standard axial package tolerances and does not affect electrical performance or thermal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 25J270 be used as a direct replacement for the 95J270?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (270 Ohms, ±5% tolerance, 5W power rating, ±30ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and matching features (flame retardant coating, safety designation). The parts are mechanically compatible in axial through-hole applications.

Q: What is the difference between the 95J270 and 25J270?

A: The primary difference is physical dimension. The 95J270 measures 0.264" diameter x 0.969" length, while the 25J270 measures 0.276" diameter x 1.016" length. Both are wirewound axial resistors with identical electrical characteristics and belong to different Ohmite series (90 vs. 20).

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0080).

Q: Will the slightly larger dimensions of the 25J270 affect PCB layout?

A: The dimensional difference is minor and remains within standard axial package tolerances. However, PCB layout should be verified if space constraints are critical, particularly for the increased diameter (0.276" vs. 0.264") and length (1.016" vs. 0.969").

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The 95J270 has 701 units in stock, and the 25J270 has 807 units in stock as new original inventory.
