Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 95J3R6 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Ohmite 90 series. The substitution criteria are:

• Identical resistance value: 3.6 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±5%
• Identical power rating: 5W
• Identical composition: Wirewound
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.264" Dia x 0.969" L (6.70mm x 24.60mm)
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Safety
• Same series classification: 90 series

The 95J3R6E qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on these criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging configuration and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 95J3R6 and 95J3R6E are Active status components from the Ohmite 90 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

The 95J3R6E is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains all electrical performance characteristics while meeting current environmental regulations.

The 95J3R6 remains suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement or where legacy component specifications are mandated.

Both parts are functionally interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint, with substitution decisions driven by compliance documentation and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 95J3R6 and 95J3R6E electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance (3.6 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (5W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and composition (wirewound). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in circuit designs?

A: From an electrical and mechanical standpoint, yes. Both parts have identical axial package dimensions (0.264" Dia x 0.969" L), termination count (2), and feature set (flame retardant coating, safety). Substitution is valid where compliance requirements do not restrict part selection.

Q: What is the difference between the 95J3R6 and 95J3R6E?

A: The primary differences are packaging configuration (standard vs. bulk) and RoHS compliance status. The 95J3R6E is ROHS3 compliant, while the 95J3R6 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, specify the 95J3R6E. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable based on availability and procurement terms.

Q: Are there any thermal or environmental performance differences?

A: No. Both parts have identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and identical flame retardant coating and safety features. Thermal and environmental performance characteristics are equivalent.
