Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the B5J36R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 36 Ohms
• Tolerance: Must be ±5%
• Power Rating: Must be 5.25W
• Composition: Must be Wirewound
• Package Type: Must be Axial
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.250" Dia x 0.625" L (6.35mm x 15.88mm)
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be ±260ppm/°C
• Features: Must include Flame Retardant Coating and Safety

The B5J36RE qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it matches all electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus standard packaging) and RoHS compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in the circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both B5J36R and B5J36RE are active production components from Ohmite's Brown Devil® 200 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

RoHS Compliance Requirements: The B5J36RE is ROHS3 compliant, while the B5J36R is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use B5J36RE.

Packaging Format: The B5J36R is supplied in standard packaging, while B5J36RE is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Inventory Availability: B5J36RE has higher current inventory (966 pieces) compared to B5J36R (671 pieces).

Both parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B5J36RE be used as a direct replacement for B5J36R?

A: Yes. B5J36RE is a parametric equivalent with identical resistance value (36 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (5.25W), physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 0.625" L), and all electrical characteristics. The parts differ only in packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: B5J36R uses standard packaging while B5J36RE uses bulk packaging. Both contain the same component. Packaging selection depends on your procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect circuit performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status indicates manufacturing process and material composition compliance with environmental regulations. It does not affect the electrical performance or functional characteristics of the resistor in circuit applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.250" Dia x 0.625" L (6.35mm x 15.88mm) and are both axial package type, ensuring identical PCB layout and assembly compatibility.

Q: What are the key parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Critical parameters for substitution are: resistance value (36 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 features (Flame Retardant Coating, Safety).
