Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the B5J6K2 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following criteria determine substitutability:

• Resistance value: 6.2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 5.25W (exact match required)
• Composition: Wirewound (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 0.625" L (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±260ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Features: Flame retardant coating and safety construction (exact match required)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match required)

The B5J6K2E meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent within the Brown Devil® 200 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the B5J6K2 and B5J6K2E are Active status components manufactured by Ohmite within the Brown Devil® 200 series. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format and regulatory compliance status. The B5J6K2E offers ROHS3 compliance, whereas the B5J6K2 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on application regulatory requirements and packaging specifications. Both components maintain equivalent performance characteristics for 6.2 kOhms 5.25W axial wirewound resistor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B5J6K2E be used as a direct replacement for B5J6K2?

A: Yes. The B5J6K2E is a parametric equivalent substitute. All electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient) and mechanical specifications (package type, dimensions, termination count) are identical. The difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Standard) and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging options?

A: The B5J6K2 is supplied in standard packaging, while the B5J6K2E is supplied in bulk packaging. Both contain identical components; packaging format affects order quantity and handling procedures only.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The B5J6K2 is RoHS non-compliant, while the B5J6K2E is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the B5J6K2E variant.

Q: Do these resistors have identical physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.250" diameter by 0.625" length (6.35mm x 15.88mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and through-hole applications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±260ppm/°C, indicating stable resistance performance across the operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The B5J6K2 has 1036 units in stock, and the B5J6K2E has 705 units in stock as new original inventory.
