Ohmite B5J200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Ohmite B5J200 is a 200 Ohm, 5.25W wirewound axial resistor with flame retardant coating and safety features, designed for through-hole applications. This component is classified as Active product status with 955 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when original stock becomes unavailable or when specific compliance requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Ohmite B5J200 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (200 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (5.25W), composition (wirewound), package type (axial), physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 0.625" L), temperature coefficient (±260ppm/°C), and safety features (flame retardant coating). Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes. Packaging format differences (tape and reel versus bulk) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the B5J200 and B5J200E are Active status components manufactured by Ohmite with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance: the B5J200E achieves ROHS3 compliance while the B5J200 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements for the end application. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the B5J200E is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable. Both components feature identical moisture sensitivity classification and ECCN/HTSUS coding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B5J200E replace B5J200 in existing designs? A: Yes. The B5J200E is a parametric equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, physical dimensions, temperature coefficient, and safety features. Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between B5J200 and B5J200E? A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (B5J200E is ROHS3 compliant; B5J200 is non-compliant) and packaging format (B5J200E is supplied in bulk; B5J200 in standard format). Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts? A: Both parts use identical axial through-hole packaging with 0.250" diameter and 0.625" length. Printed circuit board layouts and assembly processes require no modification for substitution.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: For new designs subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements, specify B5J200E. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part meets the electrical and mechanical requirements.

Q: Is the temperature coefficient identical between these parts? A: Yes. Both B5J200 and B5J200E maintain a temperature coefficient of ±260ppm/°C across the operating range.
