Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the B5J470 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

• Resistance value: 470 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 5.25W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package: Axial through-hole
• Physical dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 0.625" L (6.35mm x 15.88mm)
• Temperature coefficient: ±260ppm/°C
• Features: Flame retardant coating and safety characteristics

The B5J470E meets all these parameters and is classified as a parametric equivalent. Packaging differences (tape and reel versus bulk) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both B5J470 and B5J470E are active production parts from Ohmite's Brown Devil® 200 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

The B5J470E offers ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The B5J470 is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a requirement. Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics for 470 Ohm, 5.25W wirewound axial resistor applications. Packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel) does not affect functional compatibility and should be selected based on assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B5J470E be used as a direct replacement for B5J470?

A: Yes. The B5J470E is a parametric equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, and physical dimensions. Both parts are from the same manufacturer series and maintain the same electrical performance characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between B5J470 and B5J470E?

A: The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and packaging format. The B5J470E is ROHS3 compliant, while the B5J470 is RoHS non-compliant. The B5J470E is supplied in bulk packaging, while the B5J470 uses standard packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting B5J470E for B5J470?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical axial package dimensions (0.250" Dia x 0.625" L), termination count, and electrical characteristics. PCB layout and circuit design remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: The B5J470E is ROHS3 compliant and must be used for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The B5J470 is not RoHS compliant and is unsuitable for such applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel) is a supply and assembly consideration only. Electrical performance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficient are identical regardless of packaging format.
