AX10GK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AX10GK is a 1 Ohm, 4.6W radial through-hole resistor manufactured by Ohmite as part of the PulsEater® A series. This ceramic composition resistor features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, non-inductive design, and pulse withstanding capability. The AX10GK is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the AX10GK is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Power rating: 4.6W
• Composition: Ceramic
• Package configuration: Radial through-hole
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 150°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.591" L x 0.827" W (15.00mm x 21.00mm)
• Maximum seated height: 1.102" (28.00mm)
• Feature set: Flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, non-inductive, pulse withstanding, safety certification

The AX10GKE meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, maintaining identical performance characteristics and physical compatibility with the original AX10GK design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AX10GKE is the direct substitute for the obsolete AX10GK. Both components are manufactured by Ohmite within the PulsEater® A series and maintain identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the AX10GK is obsolete, while the AX10GKE is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or production continuity, the AX10GKE is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems requiring exact historical equivalence, the AX10GKE provides full functional and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AX10GKE be used as a direct replacement for the AX10GK in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AX10GKE is electrically and mechanically identical to the AX10GK. Both components share the same resistance value (1 Ohm), tolerance (±10%), power rating (4.6W), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C), and physical dimensions (0.591" L x 0.827" W, 28.00mm maximum seated height). Radial through-hole mounting is identical between both parts.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from AX10GK to AX10GKE?

A: The AX10GK is classified as obsolete, making long-term availability uncertain. The AX10GKE is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued supply. Additionally, the AX10GKE is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between AX10GK and AX10GKE?

A: The AX10GK is supplied in standard packaging, while the AX10GKE is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical component specifications and physical form factor.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety and performance standards?

A: Yes. Both the AX10GK and AX10GKE feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, non-inductive design, pulse withstanding capability, and safety certification. Operating temperature ranges are identical at -55°C ~ 150°C.

Q: Is the AX10GKE suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: The AX10GKE maintains all performance characteristics of the original AX10GK, including pulse withstanding and safety features. Regulatory compliance status differs: AX10GKE is ROHS3 compliant, while AX10GK is RoHS non-compliant. Component selection should align with specific application requirements and regulatory mandates.
