B8J200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B8J200 is a 200 Ohm, 8W axial wirewound resistor manufactured by Ohmite as part of the Brown Devil® 200 series. This through-hole component features flame retardant coating and safety construction, designed for applications requiring high power dissipation in a compact axial package. The part is currently active in production with 1102 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging preferences, and compliance requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The B8J200E is classified as a direct substitute based on identical electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match)
• Power rating: 8W (exact match)
• Composition: Wirewound (exact match)
• Package: Axial (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±260ppm/°C (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.313" Dia x 1.000" L (exact match)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match)

The primary difference between B8J200 and B8J200E is packaging format (tape/reel versus bulk) and RoHS compliance status. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between B8J200 and B8J200E should be based on the following criteria:

Choose B8J200 when tape/reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application.

Choose B8J200E when ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications, regulatory requirements, or customer standards. The bulk packaging format is suitable for manual assembly or when component quantities do not require automated handling.

Both parts are active products with adequate inventory levels and deliver identical electrical and thermal performance in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B8J200E be used as a direct replacement for B8J200?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The B8J200E differs only in packaging format (bulk versus tape/reel) and RoHS compliance status. Circuit performance is unchanged.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: B8J200 is supplied in tape/reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. B8J200E is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for manual assembly or applications where automated handling is not required.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect circuit performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental standards, not electrical or thermal characteristics. Both parts deliver identical performance in circuit applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.313" diameter by 1.000" length (7.94mm x 25.40mm) and mount identically on PCBs with standard 0.4" lead spacing.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS requirements, B8J200E is the appropriate selection. For legacy designs or applications without RoHS mandates, either part is suitable based on assembly process requirements.
